Our Story
Bio
A native of Chicago, William Anderson pursued his early passion for film making by producing many short films beginning at the age of 11 years old. A fascination with the precision and power of film editing compelled William to pursue training at Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy in this field. A recent graduate at Tribeca Flashpoint, William is now proficient on Avid Media Composer, Apple Final Cut Pro, and excels in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Photoshop. Being passionate about World War Two and other History led to creating projects such as Pinned, ( Short Film ), and Coffin Riders (Training video for re-en actors).
Art Statement
As a Film Editor, I believe strongly in unearthing a character’s raw emotions by feeling it for myself, cut by cut. Only then can I hope to convey the same feelings to those watching what I have created. “Film editing is now something almost everyone can do at a simple level and enjoy it, but to take it to a higher level requires the same dedication and persistence that any art form does.”-Walter Murch
I believe that dedication, attention to detail, and persistence are qualities I have that enable me to keep working on a project until it is exactly as I have seen it in my mind’s eye. My thrill is to create some sort of emotional impact from perhaps raw footage that showed none. Thus, the art of an editor.
