About
Who is Mark? For 11 odd years I was the owner of the production company Commoner, and eventually when I got sick of balancing the production books, I doubled down on post production.
I love a narrative anchored by emotional rhythm. Viewers should feel their way through a good edit and get all tingly at the end 🥹
When I’m not editing, you might find me plugging away at a great Australian 📖, or battling the undead hordes in my current MMO of choice.
Rates
I charge $900 (ex GST) per day for everything. Whether it’s a social cut, branded doco or TV commercial, it all gets the same attention.
For longer jobs, I’m happy to negotiate a project rate. If you just want an idea of how long a project might take to edit, get in touch.
I’m open to hustling from charities and causes I’m interested in (🦥, 🌲, 👐🏽) or if you’ve got a killer short film to work through. Sometimes I’ll charge a prep fee when serious transcoding or audio syncing is required prior to editing, but I’ll let you know up front.
I edit from a cosy suite in in Brunswick, with facilities to have a director sit in and review edits at no extra cost. Or, I can come to you. 😊
