From Intern to Edit Assist, we’re pumped to welcome the newest addition to our Auckland production team!

“I love working in a place with other creative people, where I can be creative. I’m challenged and learn new things everyday”

Millie Ketchley has recently joined our crew in Auckland as an Edit Assist working in our Post Production team alongside our Senior Editor, Flo. This is something she’s been working towards whilst being our legendary intern over the past couple of months. Millie is one of the hardest working, talented and best people we could ever have imagined and we feel super lucky to have her on board. We sat down with her for a wee chat to distract her from all that hard work…

What did you want to be when you were older?

An astronaut

What’s your favourite movie?

Moonrise Kingdom because the editing is really cool, especially the monochromatic colour scheme, and the coming of age themes.

When was the first time you knew you wanted to work in a creative field?

When I was 11. I got really into Harmony Korine’s work. I loved the visually appealing aesthetic and knew I really wanted to do that kind of thing.

What do you love about editing?

It’s always different. You can put stuff tothether into so many different combinations and the end product can change so much as a result. Editing is like painting for me. I’ve never been able to paint but, with editing, I can create a form of art and make pictures come alive without a paintbrush.

What’s the best part of your job?

I love working in a place with other creative people, where I can be creative. I’m challenged and learn new things everyday.

Do you think AI can be used for editing?

Yes and no. I think it can be faster but not as creative. AI isn’t part of a team that can collaborate on the most creative outcome.
