Work Editorial has added editor Lucian Barnard to its roster of postproduction talent.
Barnard began his career editing movies and documentaries but was drawn to the samurai-like discipline and methodology of editing commercials and other short-form films.
Barnard was awarded the Golden Horn for Best Achievement in Editing of a Feature Film at the SAFTAs (South African Film and Television Awards) for his work cutting the suspense drama Griekwastad, which dramatized the true story of an infamous crime in the small country town. He also edited the Netflix thriller I Am All Girls and Moritz Mohrโs action-packed Boy Kills Worldย starring Bill Skarsgรฅrd, produced by Sam Raimi and distributed by Lionsgate. Google Chrome called upon Barnardโs musical sensibilities to edit the Clio award-winning spot featuring racer Lando Norris and rappers Lil Yachty and Busta Rhymes rapping as fast as an F1 engine. Other commercial campaigns edited by Barnard were for brand such as Gymshark, Pringles, Nivea Men, Honda, Asics, and Leviโs, among many others.
โBeing accepted into the ranks of editors I have admired for quite some time feels amazing,โ remarked Barnard. โWork Editorial operates from a truthful, caring, kind, and positive space. Upon meeting the entire team, I remember feeling as if I was walking into a large family gathering. This, to me, is the most important quality of Work Editorial. Not only that, but they are the best of the best. Iโm excited to get started!โ
Jane Dilworth, founding partner of Work Editorial, added, โLucianโs work is fantastic, incredibly skillful with such an infectious energy that lifts your spirits. Heโs also a delight to work with and an extraordinary talent.โ
