Michael Baldwin

Michael started as an edit assistant at Rushes, under the wing of respected commercial editor Warren Meneely before leaving to become a freelance editor, working mainly on music videos and television promos.

Then he got the urge to direct. Having already shot a charming little no budget video for his mate's band, Alfie, he directed a test clip for London based XFM radio that was well received and included in Shots Magazine's 'Evolutions' show.

Still editing full time, Michael gradually built up a solid body of workwinning the first Cutlets award set up by advertising agency BBH, and then shot a commercial for the Toronto Herald with award winning creatives Dave Masterson and Ed Edwards.

His profile in the music video industry was raised last year when he shot the comeback video for Travis featuring a cameo from Ben Stiller. That video was nominated at the CADS and more recently has been nominated for an MVPA award.

He is in post production on three jobs including video for hot tip of 2008 Attic Lights.
