Welcome to the personal website of Howard Berry.
I am
a VFX Editor working for Double Negative VFX in London, and
a professional freelance video editor, motion graphics
designer and animator. I am currently working as VFX editor
on “The Green Zone” (dir. Paul Greengrass) and “Kick-Ass”
(dir. Matthew Vaughn), and I have also been editing a
documentary for the award-winning Jayamac Productions.
I
am an Apple Certified Trainer and an Apple Certified Pro in
Final Cut Pro 6.
My
previous portfolio of work includes editing
the Commonwealth Visions Award winning short "Paper!
Paper!" for Jayamac Productions; live event motion graphics
design for FDMX and the University of Hertfordshire Digital
Animation Film Days; HD filming, editing and creative
direction for onedeadpixel, including creating a showreel
for the Metro Ski and Snowboard Show; and various
post-production roles (including rotoscoping, CG and colour
grading) on Harry Potter, Troy, Calendar Girls, Ella
Enchanted, The Medallion, Gerry Anderson's New Captain
Scarlet, Wimbledon and Comic Relief. For the past four
years I have been lead designer of the Sir Arthur Clarke
Awards, for which I produce live motion graphics content
and direct a live awards show. I also designed the actual
award. I will be back to direct the awards show in April
for the fifth year.
I was formerly a lecturer at the University of
Hertfordshire, teaching on a range of topics including:
digital post-production in Final Cut Studio, 3D modelling
and animation, motion graphics design, Flash animation,
sound effects design and soundtrack theory, DVD production,
and brand development and design. I taught on the BA Film
& Television, BA Digital Animation, BA Digital &
Lens Media and BA Product Design degrees.
