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.

It was always stressed that the contacts you make during your training are incredibly important, and your classmates are likely to end up being on set alongside you in the future. After working with a director of photography on one of the School’s short films, I was invited to work on a project with him outside of Bristol - proving that the professionals we meet via the School, may one day give us a call to action!
