Charlie Parkin

Head of Screen Production


Biography

Charlie Parkin is a video editor and an award-winning visual effects compositor working on short films, corporate video, web series and digital releases.

While co-ordinating and teaching post-production at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, he continues his professional practice as a freelance video editor and visual effects artist for clients like the NHS, the National Police Wellbeing Service and as part of the filmmaking collective City Lights Films.

He is also an award-winning composer and music producer, primarily scoring web releases, indie games and media. His work ranges from orchestral to electronic and hip-hop.

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
