Tom Aldous
Editor
Meet Tom, the editor of 'Sleuth'.
When he was 12, Tom took an interest in creating small backyard projects with an iPod Touch as a camera and pre-loaded iMovie at his disposal to edit. It is fair to say that editing has been something he has always enjoyed the most, starting by teaching himself the fundamentals with the aid of video tutorials and later building on his skills and knowledge base at university, coupled with editing jobs. When asked to be involved, he was instantly drawn and intrigued by the warped narrative of Sleuth and very excited to be at the forefront of the postproduction team. Tom has been involved in two larger scale projects as an editor for a small film company and has edited lots of short films and promotional content over the last 6 years.
Meet Barney, the Cinematographer for our Short Film, Sleuth.
He is in his final year at University and has been in charge of cinematography for two main projects each year prior. Having studied Film and also Media studies for his A Levels, he decided that he really wanted to get into the film industry from a young age. Having also got a camera for his 15th birthday, he has shot short clips with his peers, coincidentally his first miniature project was a film noir styled scene and has shown an interest in the genre ever since. This factor heavily drew him into this project.
