'Pip to Pint' post production



In post production I had two roles. Voicing scripts in my role as a presenter and Editor, helping create the finished product. These are the parts I voiced for Pip to Pint:

Cider has been a favourite drink for many, whether it be the odd pint down the local or a quiet drink at home. But what really goes into making this unique drink and why is it so popular? We're here to answer these questions so grab a glass, Pour yourself a drink of your favourite apple brew and relax as we take you on a ciderous journey in our pubumentary 'From pip to pint'


Cider...the ancient and fascinating drink that has been consumed for hundreds of years and still going strong. Here in the west country where the sqeezing of the apples to the pouring of the pint all take place under one roof, these people are truely proud of their favourite appletastic drink.

Post production proved to be very stressfull. There was some ambiguity as to the deadline date and as a result it was a mad rush trying to get the program finished. We did meet the deadline but as an editor I was not happy with the final product. Given more time I feel 'Pip to pint" could have been something really special.

The decision not to extend the deadline was taken because it was thought this simulated reality within the industry. In my experience programs are rarely broadcast without at lease going through a pilot stage, which is something we missed out all together!

I think you could easily have made a half hour show out of all the material you gathered. Some great characters.
