My name's Tony, but everyone calls me tk.
A career in the Television Industry spanning almost 2 decades, primarily in Post Production, has enabled me to develop an understanding of both the creative process and business side of the industry.
From starting my career making tea at a London Post House to being a Lead Creative on some of Australia’s premier subscription TV channels I’ve worked across many aspects of the broadcast Industry, from VFX to Technical Support, branding to editing and directing.
With a real love for the creative process of editing I can work on Avid, Final Cut, Premiere and After Effects.
I am currently freelance and available to work in Melbourne or Sydney.
In my spare time I host and produce a soccer podcast and DJ and produce music.
