DAVID REEVE
WELCOME TO MY PORTFOLIO
I am an experienced video editor and filmmaker with a proven track record of creating impactful content. While this portfolio page focuses on my work with NGOs and charities, I am skilled in crafting everything from cinematic trailers and award-winning documentaries to motion graphics, music videos, and social media verticals. You can view my main portfolio here and you can also view my photography here. Email: davidreeve44@gmail.com
charities and ngos
I’ve cut and sometimes filmed a lot of videos for charities and NGOs including VSO, ActionAid, MS Society, Blood Cancer UK, Fight Inequality, Stand Up To Cancer, Pathways etc. I’ve edited films that have been shot all over the world, which has provided me with deep insights into the varied lived experiences of people, particularly women and girls. One set of films that I shot and edited and I’m particularly proud of are the MS Society Active Together films that have received over 1 million views and judging by the comments, helped a lot of people.
MOTION GRAPHICS
As an editor, working with motion graphics is a really useful skill to have and comes into play with most edits at some point. There’s a range of expressions here – some of them fairly experimental, and others, such as The King Who Invented Ballet (above) were broadcast (this one on BBC). Above are three motion graphics projects that were completed for ActionAid. Many of the other videos in this portfolio also contain motion graphics elements.
DOCUMENTARIES
I’ve also filmed and cut a range of documentaries. Larry and Janet Move Out is about a couple who are forced out of their family home that they had occupied for over 30 years on the Heygate Estate in Elephant and Castle, London, to make way for the local authority’s redevelopment plans. The Guardian described the film as: “a moving account of one couple’s plight, a social commentary for our times.” The film has amassed over 50k views on YouTube, had lots of interesting comments and seemingly had some impact on Southwark’s housing policies.
