He also won our annual values award for radiating positive energy!

Ryan’s dedicated, committed, creative, charming, patient, loyal, hard working, funny, disciplined and very tall.”

“Reality Mechanic ensures our Vision is met with by creating imagery that is just us. Ryan is professional, versatile, and most importantly, understands our culture. Reality Mechanic’s production has been incredible.”

“Reality Mechanic worked with us for two years building a substantial commercial content library allowing us to explore many creative opportunities to reach wider audiences. Ryan goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone to know your value, align to your culture and produce high quality stories then this is an amazing option.”

“In today’s modern digital environment where everyone has easy access to cheap cameras, computers, editing software and graphics packages, it has been very difficult to find skilled editors with experience beyond cutting pictures to music. It is very rare then to find an editor like Ryan who is truly multi-skilled across all disciplines of production. When Ryan joined our team in 2004 it became quickly apparent that his skill-set went way beyond the Corporate Video productions he was assigned to and in the 2 years he was with us, he worked on a wide range of projects Music videos to Television Documentary and Drama productions.

Combining superior editing, creative and graphics skills with a warm, calm and approachable personality made Ryan a joy to work with and he became a firm favourite with our clients and directors. I would not hesitate to recommend Ryan and I hope to work with him on productions in the future.”

“In my 15 years of being in media production, Ryan is one of the most skilled and accomplished editors I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside. I have worked with Ryan on a number of projects over the last 5 years and his ability to switch from graphics led films to productions with a real emotive subject matter show his versatility and skill as an editor.

He is always on hand to discuss ideas and the creativity and enthusiasm he approaches every project with shine-through. He is always up to date with new technology and as a camera operator his work is thorough and to a very high standard. His friendly manner makes clients warm to him making them feel relaxed in even the potentially most stressful of situations. He gives each project a real human touch not just treating it like just any old job and makes life for me as a director a great deal easier.

I have confidence in Ryan every time on any project.”
