A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Guy Savin is an Emmy award-winning and BAFTA nominated film editor with more than 15 years experience both in London and overseas. Guy began his career as a runner at Trillion where he progressed to tape-op before moving on to Virgin's 625 in Soho as an assistant editor and continuing on to its sister facility, 525, in Los Angeles. On returning to the UK Guy broadened his knowledge, working for independent production companies and on NBC's annual Wimbledon coverage and two Olympic Games. He took a position at Wiseman and quickly became one of the top online editors in Soho. With the introduction of non-linear editing, Guy soon started taking numerous projects from offline through to finishing including the cult game show `The Crystal Maze.' Guy began his freelance career in the late 90`s and has become one of the most experienced Avid editors around working on broadcast, commercials, promos and title sequences. Guy has worked with many top producers and directors and edited some of the most prolific shows on British television, most notably BBC2's multi-award winning Top Gear. His five-year tenure on Top Gear culminated in a BAFTA nomination for the Top Gear Bolivia Special. Following on from his work on the BBC's Top Gear Guy is based at commercial editorial house Marshall Street Editors, cutting commercials and promos for many of the worlds top ad agencies and brands.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
