As a team we have been working together for 8 years but have over 35 years combined experience in the film/creative industry. David started off working for Ogilvy as a junior art director before becoming a freelance editor. In 1994 he formed his own CC Company called the Apple Corps before forming a partnership with Roger Orpen in 1996 to become the head of the post production department for the Cutting Edge. David is now the majority shareholder for Popcorn Post Production and his invaluable experience, dedication to his work and always calm nature under extreme pressure makes him a most valuable asset to any post production job. Peter started of in the industry as a photographic retouch artist for FCB Johannesburg before moving down to FCB’s Cape Town branch. He then moved on to edit and design graphics for Hirt & Carter before moving on to The Cutting Edge in 2003. Peters knowledge of both sides of the industry has given him the upper hand into what is required to produce the best finished product. His attention to detail and willingness to always craft what he creates as well as the speed in which he does it makes the final online process smooth sailing from start to finish. Richard started off in the film industry working as a barman/runner for the Video Lab in early 2000. Working his way up the ladder he worked as an assistant in Telecine, CAR and as an AVID offline assistant as well as being the driver, coffee maker, client liason, you name it, he did it. In August 2001 an opportunity opened up for him as a VT operator at the Cutting Edge which he took and he dedicated his free time and weekends to teach himself how to edit and eventually started to do small jobs from weddings to castings etc before eventually moving onto commercials. Now specializing in documentaries and working on exciting jobs such as the Cape Town International Jazz Festival and Sports Illustrated Swimwear, Richard will always go the extra mile to make sure that the client is always 110% satisfied.
