Peter Beswick
@peterbeswick
Broadcast TV/video creative and editor with extensive production, post-production and teaching experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic broadcast TV and video creative with deep experience across pre- and post-production, live shows, documentary series and light entertainment. I deliver high-quality finished material by combining creative flair with strong editorial judgement and technical knowledge.
As a seasoned freelancer and owner-operator, I have led projects for studios, television companies and corporate clients, contributing to channel launches, branding and configuring edit suites for major facilities. I have written for industry publications and demonstrated industry technologies.
I have significant credits including work for MTV, ITV, Discovery, Cartoon Network, Paramount and numerous festival and artist productions. I also have experience developing and demonstrating broadcast equipment and software on world tours and at vendor events.
I bring practical craftsmanship and engineering interests alongside over four years of lecturing at further and higher education institutions, and I am eager to take on a new challenge that leverages my broadcasting, restoration and technical teaching experience.
