Major Lazer 'Get Free'

As you can imagine, we hear a lot of music at Trim, but this years sweetest sounds drifted out of Tom's suite when SoMe was in town to cut Major Lazer's 'Get Free' video. Captured with SoMe's trademark "Effortless Vibes" lens, the video is a surprisingly melancholic take on Jamaican dancehall. See if you can spot Beenie  Man rocking his new Sheikh look. Right who's up for some daggering?

John Hillcoat We Salute You

Earlier this year, Tom Lindsay took his editing suite to the next level - a hot tropical jungle in Thailand. This was where the legendary John Hillcoat was shooting his latest commercial for National Lottery. Featuring the endearing and talented Nicholas Amer, a true 88 year old veteran, the spot is an affecting piece that wouldn't look out of place in a feature. Brilliant cut and sound edit too from Tom.

Dalston Psycho

Director Daniel Wolfe and editor Tom Lindsay have once again joined forces to create a truly magnificent piece of cinema for The Shoes' new song 'Time to Dance'. Shot by the highly acclaimed Robbie Ryan, it's a visually stunning feast featuring Hollywood swoonster Jake Gyllenhaal like you've never seen him before. You're going to want to watch it at least 3 times, maybe even 5!

Cobra 'Train'

Director Daniel Wolfe has once again delivered a visually stunning commercial, this time round for Cobra. It's filled to the brim with an eclectic mix of characters from hipsters to gurus, (all street cast of course), getting crunked up on a train journey. We think it's a beautifully crafted spot, effortlessly pieced together by Tom Lindsay. Plus it makes us thirsty and gives our shoulders a work out to the brilliantly original track, what more do you want?

One Shot Wonders

An Editors dream job, some might say. A 'cut with no cut' a 'ride with no bumps' a 'baby that doesn't scream' and ' 'a boozy night with no hangover', ok maybe not quite, but you get my drift. Here's a collection of delightful one shot wonders from the past year, cut by Tom, Dominic and Paul with our lovely directors Adam Berg, Arno Salters, Kim Gehrig and Tim Hope.

We like these jobs, give us more.

Icelandic Skillz

Earlier this year we showed you the trailer for Borkur Sigthorsson's gripping short thriller 'Come To Harm' edited by Tom Lindsay and Ross Hallard. Now the film is swirling the international festivals and causing a storm, already picking up best Short Film at the Reykjavik International Film Festival (hooray!).

Next up is a rendezvous at the Encounters Festival in Bristol (Nov 16-20), so if you live round there you'd be stupid not to go watch it! We love you Borkur and your coffee-nazi ways!

CONGRATULATIONS TOM!!

Big love to Tom Lindsay who scooped up best editor at last nights MVA's! It was his brilliant Tom Vek 'Aroused' video directed by Saam Farahmand that bagged it. This is the second time he's been voted best editor this year, which makes him the official king of the cut!!!

Daniel Wolfe's legendary Blind Faith video, edited by Dominic Leung won Best Dance Video, and Best Styling! And for a second year running SomeSuch&Co's Tim Francis won Best Producer! Woop Woop!

A Life Well Lived

Daniel Wolfe's latest gem, spans the life of San Miguel from the 1950s to present time. Shot with a variety of cameras; super 8, high 8, 35mm, 16mm and VHS C the ad is a sumptuous montage of textures and eras, characters and bottles, sunsets and venues. With a delicate and endearing cut from Tom Lindsay, the spot is a wonderful and subtle muse of Spain and its good times. Now pass me that beer.

Detour Warsaw

Warsaw was voted second most boring city in Europe, after Brussels (lets face it, its claim to fame is a small statue of a boy pissing?!). And Warsaw is probably boring because its industrial and cold which as we all know breeds misery...until now....

The lovely director Seb Edwards brings the Polish sights to life in a 2 minute film that follows a group of trendy 'happy' cyclists wheeling, hopping and skidding across the night lit Warsaw landscape, all slickly cut together by Tom Lindsay. Warsaw has never looked so exciting.

Sexy Smoke

Yes kids, smoking is fucking cool and sexy and makes you dance well. Saam Farahmand says so, with his new stunning video for Tom Vek.

A smoky, smouldering and surprisingly abstract extravaganza that requires several viewings due to its geniusness...(I know that's not a real word) both in concept and edit. Hats off to the Farahmand / Lindsay super duo!

The Vaccines

Bob Harlow's latest video for The Vaccines 'Norgaard' is a short and sweet slice of careless fun, made increasingly watchable due to the sexy model and of course Tom Lindsay's magic gold cutting fingers. He should really get those insured.

Congratulations Tommy!

Woop Woop -the music video editing king has done it again, scooping up a pencil for best editing on the Plan B 'Prayin' video, directed by Daniel Wolfe at last nights D&AD awards!

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas

Walter Stern recently directed this colourful spot for Dutch Financial Institution, Rabobank, or rather 'rob a bank' as we like to call it at Trim.

It was shot in China, Germany and the Netherlands, lit by award winning DP Marcel Zyskind and deftly cut by Tom Lindsay. The piece is a playful orchestration of lights, creating an arresting visual feast. Mmm good idea.

(The Iceman) Come To Harm

Here for your visual pleasure is the trailer for Borkur Sigthorsson's upcoming short film Come To Harm. Edited at Trim earlier this year by Tom Lindsay and Ross Hallard,

The film tells the story of Stefan (Björn Thors), whose life descends into turmoil, when he senses an intruder in his home and panic quickly turns to grim determination.

As usual, Borkur's skillfull characterisation and fantastic photography ignites the film and leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat!

Wolfe and the Royal Wedding

For Daniel Wolfe's latest commerical, he turned his attention to the talents of three Corgis dogs to promote the new Freeview HD. Wolfe injected the dogs with a dose of Royal Wedding merriment, sending them on an eager journey across the countryside towards the dwellings of London to meet their fellow Corgi friends, so they can all sit round together and watch the Royal Wedding in full HD, rather then the shitty normal res that people in the country are subjected to. As always with Mr Wolfe's work, it's shot beautifully with a retro tinge creating a brilliantly British chunk of summertime anticipation.

The Defamation of Strickland Banks

Tom Lindsay did a fine job summarizing the good times and bad times of Strickland Banks in this sharp and epic recent trailer. Commissioned for the Brit Awards, this brilliantly edited short ties up all the Plan B videos that Daniel Wolfe directed set against a new unreleased track. The trailer was played on screen alongside live choreographed scenes on stage, bringing the dramatic chronicle to life.

The Shoes 'Stay the Same'

Daniel Wolfe's latest video features a gripping and intense performance from actor Johnny Harris.The captivating edit from Tom Lindsay successfully delivers the harrowing highs and lows of a man in turmoil. Plus the song's pretty damn catchy too!

She Loves Beef

Those creative folk at Wieden and Kennedy have launched a super addictive music-making app for the new Nokia N8 smart phone as part of their 'It's not technology, it's what you do with it' campaign.

To demonstrate it's potent potential, director Kim Gehrig took to the poodle parlours of Shanghai, adopting the talents of multi-coloured poodles getting pimped up like trannies. Back in blighty, Trim's Tom Lindsay took the visuals under his wing and created a loop style edit to further emboss the apps idea and reflect the looping soundtrack which was created entirely on-set using the phone! Yes that's a big loopy loopy WOW...(lets just hope iphone make their own version eh!).

Black Lager

Tricky technicalities and an immense post job was at hand in Saam Farahmand's latest swinging Guinness ad. Edited by Trim's Tom Lindsay, Saam's playful twist on dimensions has a good old hint of Flat Stanley about it. We like.
