Alastair Maggs’s Summary
I have experience in film editing (using Final Cut, Avid, Premiere and Vegas) and I'm currently editing my second and third feature film. I've also vast experience in web design and programming having worked on games add-ons, educational software and a number of web sites over the past few years. I'm currently working freelance, and I'm looking to take on some interesting projects. If I was to move to a full time position within a company, I'd be looking for a position that would allow me to work cross-media.
My current projects include two feature films, and also launching some mobile games for the Windows Mobile platform.
I'm also developing web sites, including three upcoming online stores, and two Flash portfolio sites.

Alastair Maggs’s Experience
-
Company Director
Chaos Created
(Media Production industry)
November 2008 — Present (1 year 1 month)
Decided I should "go it alone" for a bit. Currently editing on two feature films, and continue to build up my web design/flash portfolio, and - along the way - I've gotten back into a bit of print advertising and company branding.
Chaos, in effect, has been running for some years now and has worked on developing software add-ons for the Creatures series of games (2001 and 2003), and countless web sites. I turned this into my full time career in November 2008.
As part of my work, I have been involved, recently, with editing two feature films as part of my partnership with Befour. These films are 5:13 and The Joshua Tapes, both scheduled for a 2010 release. I have also previously edited on S'kali. -
