Having spent 6 years as the Lead Editor on Catfish: The TV Show, it remains some of my favorite work. It is a challenging show to edit because it doesn’t look like many other shows on TV (or at least didn’t when I started on Season 2). The content is shot by nearly everyone on set, producers, cast and actual DP’s giving it a user generated feel. Emotionally Catfish runs the gamut, ranging from love story and hope, to horror/thriller despair. Organized collaboration was a must from the producers who hand over cut-down versions of scenes, graphic creations that show what Nev and Max are looking at onscreen, to the music coordinators who helped supply current vocal tracks, this show takes a lot of teamwork to get to the finish line.

Sometimes stories are complicated. Our challenge with this trailer was getting complex medical information delivered to the viewer in the simplest way possible in order to tease the story. This was a big challenge, and looking back I’m proud of what we delivered and our client, Peacock, was happy with the results as well.
