27: Freelance Editor Sophie Pollock - Editing Critically Acclaimed Documentaries
Do you want to know what it's like to edit gripping factual documentaries? Do you want to know about some of the challenges an editor faces whilst in the edit? Well, you'll want to stick around until the end of my interview with freelance editor Sophie Pollock. Sophie has been working in TV for over a decade, mainly editing factual documentaries and I'd say there isn't a subject she can't lend her skills to and make a success of. For example, one of her most recent projects, Hell on Wheels for the BBC, received a four star rating from TV critic Will Gompertz. In this interview we talk about her career and the struggles she faced as a single mum trying to make it in TV; some of the projects she's worked on and the challenges she faces in the edit suite. And as usual, there's plenty of advice for those looking to get into the industry.
