About

With more than 23 years of storytelling experience across broadcast, high-end commercials, award-winning documentaries and social content, Ben Hall is an experienced editor who brings clarity, pace and emotional impact to every project.

He works collaboratively with producers, directors, agencies and filmmakers, building strong working relationships while managing projects efficiently from first cut to final delivery. Whether the brief calls for a polished commercial, a character-led documentary or fast-moving social content, Ben adapts quickly and delivers edits that connect with audiences.

My Editing Approach

Ben’s work is driven by story, emotion and instinct. He believes the best edits feel natural, purposeful and engaging—serving the audience while meeting the creative and commercial needs of each project.

His approach is informed by the editorial philosophies of Walter Murch, with a focus on emotion first, followed by story, rhythm, eyeline and screen geography. Every cut is made to strengthen the moment and move the narrative forward.

Technical Expertise

Ben is highly proficient in:

• Avid Media Composer

• Adobe Premiere Pro

• DaVinci Resolve

• CapCut

• Runway AI

• Generative AI workflows for video and image creation

He integrates emerging AI tools where they genuinely improve efficiency or expand creative possibilities, while keeping storytelling and craft at the centre of the process.

Ben is experienced in creating AI-generated visuals from text prompts and reference imagery. His understanding of composition, lighting, action, camera movement and shot design helps him create visuals that work cohesively within an engaging story.

For lower-budget projects, Ben can also provide a solid sound mix and colour grade as part of a streamlined post-production workflow.Remote-Ready Services
