Dan Morgan who is a hugely well-regarded Supervising sound editor, has been brought on board to head up the Sound Editorial team as the new TFS Supervising Sound Editor. Having worked closely with Twickenham over the years, and with a credit list that speaks for itself alongside his talent, passion, and vision, made him the natural choice to grow the Sound Editorial offering.
Dan started off his 20-year Sound career working on live TV and studio dramas. Then in 2000 he moved to Hackenbacker where he worked on a range of Feature Film and TV productions until 2008 when he became a Freelance. In 2004 he began a long collaboration with multi-awarded Director Edgar Wright working on Shaun of the Dead. Since then, he has worked on all his films including Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, The Worlds End and Baby Driver (which was nominated for both Bafta and Academy Awards for Best Sound). He has most recently Co Sound Supervised Edgar’s latest feature Last Night In Soho, which has been received so positively since its premiere at the BFI London Film Festival. As such a popular Supervising Sound Editor Dan has been lucky enough to work on films with some of the most respected directors and actors in the industry.
New TFS Supervising Sound Editor and Head of Sound Editorial Dan Morgan comments: “I am extremely proud to be joining TFS as the studios are going from strength to strength. I am looking forward to coming on board and running Twickenham Film Studios newly launched post Sound Editorial team and being able to offer productions the very best experience for across their Sound Post. With a highly talented and experienced crew coupled with the very best TFS Sound Mixing Theatres in the UK we are set to do the very best work.”
TFS are also welcoming Arthur Graley to join Dan’s Sound Editorial team working closely on all sound post work. Having worked together for over 20 yearspreviously Arthur was an obvious choice.
Arthur started working in 1997 at Hackenbacker Audio Postproduction where he and Dan first met. He worked successfully within the company for 10 years, gaining experience with various genres of Film, TV and Games. He progressed quickly from assistant editor position to become a recordist and Sound Editor / Designer for a high volume of projects. He then began working as a Freelance Sound Designer and Sound Effects Editor for the last 13 years working on high profile jobs, across different genres within various companies and studios; notably the Pinewood and Shepperton Group, where he has worked on several cutting-edge projects, but also keeping involved with the Soho media industry.
