ABOUT DAVID TREGONING
David Tregoning is Creative Associate with 15 years experience in the Post-Production industry, currently working for a creative content company called Steam Motion & Sound in London, managing creative projects ranging from TV Commercials, EPKs, trailers and music videos to longer-form content such as documentaries, live events and feature films. Over the past decade he has edited 12 feature length films.
David graduated from De Montfort University in Leicester, UK in 2006 with a Batchelor of Arts degree (with honours) with his chosen area of study being Music Technology & Innovation. David’s specialised areas within Music Technology included digital audio production, studio engineering, sound design & image and creative composition.
Following his University studies, David pursued his interest for music and sound design for TV and film which eventually led him to audio/video editing after work placements with the BBC in central London working in the Audio & Music Interactive department and also at Clear Cut Pictures Post Production facilities in west London, shadowing the BAFTA nominated dubbing mixer Danny Finn.
With a passion for rich story-telling, David enjoys creating and crafting stories and thinking of new ways to engage the viewer; working on projects from conception and shooting, right through to mastering and delivery. The result is fresh and exciting content with a strong creative for major international clients, produced in close collaboration with the directors, producers, designers, animators and clients to deliver compelling content that goes above and beyond the client’s original brief.
Music is a huge part of David’s life. A keen composer and musician himself, singing, playing keys, drums and also composing/arranging his own music; David also has experience of studio recording, live recording and mixing, producing and mastering and recently releasing albums of his own material, one (Foundations) under his own name and another (Surface Interval) under the pseudonym Spectrolite.
TESTIMONIALS
I was recently introduced to the wildly talented David Tregoning. Having directed many years in film, tv & theatre - I value the relationship with my editor - so much so - I tend to use the same few over and over again. But meeting and working with David has been a major career high for me. He is such a smart and collaborative partner. No matter what I suggested he found a better solution. I look forward to working with David again - and so should you!
Andy Fickman - Director/Producer/Writer
Dave is a highly skilled and technical editor with a very creative flair. He has a wealth of experience cutting commercial, narrative, trailers, teasers, social and branded content. He has the ability to turn average footage in to an amazing edit, and amazing footage in to a stunning edit! He has a very thorough understanding of the entire post production workflow – and on top of it all is always a pleasure to work with. Dave is an asset to any post production team.
Ben Crabb - Director/Filmmaker
Suitcase Murphy had the pleasure of working with David on a series of videos we produced in 2014. His sense of story is strong, he works very efficiently and we quickly learned we could trust his instincts. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending David and wish he was still here so we could keep working with him.
