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.

Woop Woop, congratulations to director, WIZ and Trim's editor Julia Knight for winning this years NME Best Music Video award for Hurts 'Sunday'! Check it out:
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?
1568 days, 409 quicktimes, 47 bottles of prosecco, 1367 biscuits, 18816 cups of coffee, 1 huge live event and Trim finally polished off its biggest project to date; the Coke Olympics campaign, directed by the gorgeous Kim Gehrig!
The mammoth campaign involving a 1 hour documentary, concert visual, 2 music videos, numerous commercials and endless music editing started in August 2011 and has involved everyone at Trim at one point or another, apart from Paul who managed to slip through the net.
For nearly a year Kim Gehrig has been non stop working, traveling around the world for 3 months with her dedicated crew, including the fantastic DP Ross Mclennan and her producer Lucy Kelly, filming an array of athletes whilst following Mark Ronson on his momentous steps to creating the 2012 Olympic 'Move to Beat' record. This then accumulated towards an impressive live event/mini festival next door to the Olympic Stadium bringing the entire project to life. All this before setting up home at Trim HQ, running around between suites, cutting the doc with Jerry Chater and Tom Hemmings then skipping over to Tom Lindsay who was in charge of the music video, commercials and music edit.
A 30 minute edit of the documentary was broadcast on Channel 4 on Wednesday 15 February and will be available for further viewing on 4OD later this spring. Be sure to check it out!

This hilarious music video for Beardyman's single 'Big Man' was directed by MindPenis, the brain/phallus combo of Chris Cairns & Ross McDowell. Trim's very own intellectual/imbecilic double-act, Gus Herdman & Ross Hallard, joined the duo in the cutting room to create this parody of tragic middle-class white kids playing gangsters, puffing on Bensons grasping their crotches - big balls and all that.
The video was shot on location in and around Chris' flat in Stokey and even features Trim's beloved horny bitch, Peanut. We especially like the exploding Trim sign in the titles, every post company's dream.

To kick off the festive season of 2011, the trimmers headed for a Prosecco induced evening at Yotam Ottolenghi's latest glamorous venture, Nopi. A minimalist interior with slick white tiles on the walls, lots of shiny brass fittings and a 'f*** me WOW' bathroom. Seriously, the bathroom alone is worth the visit. The walls are covered in mirrors jutting out at different angles creating a 70s psychadelic vision that leaves you wide-eyed and fumbling for the camouflaged toilet doors.
The menu is divided into meat, fish, veg and sweets with all the plates being small sharing sizes - (3 course meals are so passe). We started the feasting with a fresh and tangy dish of caramalised macademia and mango coleslaw, heavenly scallops with fennel puree and sweet pumpkin pie with salty manouri cheese and a lip-smacking ginger sabayon. The Trimmers forks were flying across the table snatching every last morsel of yumminess. Yottolenghi if you're listening, you should jar those macadamia nuts and sell them, because damn they were good.
A small break allowed for a second bathroom trip, this time with cameras in hand (you'll understand this madness once you experience the bathroom). Back in the restaurant our table was filled with round two of deliciousness. A seductively tender pork belly cassoulet with madeira prunes was presented in charming jam jars, tempting us to just pop one in our bags for a midnight treat. Another interesting dish of hibiscus and tea smoked quail with cumquat relish demonstrated Ottolenghi's successful fusion of exotic flavours. A heart warming dish of fondant swede and caerphilly gratin had everyone dribbling whilst stating repeatedly as if on drugs 'I don't even like swede, but I love this'. A last show stopping dish was chargrilled octopus with a banging salmorejo sauce and sweet morcilla. After this our brains drowned in foodie serotonin and we had no other choice but to order another bottle of their Cuvee rose 'Jeio', Bisol, just to lubricate our systems (please note that Trim now fully stocks this prosecco).
Desserts arrived just as we began to slump over, but nevertheless we raised our spoons like a cavalry standing to attention and devoured a christmassy mincemeat strudel with burnt orange and caramel ice cream and an creamy passion fruit meringue trifle creation all washed down with a 'pick me up' espresso martini! Oof it was gooood.
There wasn't a single dish to fault. Every flavour and texture was executed to a blinding perfection. Nopi is our favourite new restaurant and Ottolenghi is our new hero.
Check out this behind the scenes of the very clever 'If' commercial, directed by the talented Adam Berg and cut by Tom Lindsay. These guys move fast....
