03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE EDIT
Reuben Royal.
An editor’s eye.
A producer’s perspective.
I’m a video editor, senior producer and content producer based in Osaka, Japan. My background spans broadcast, digital content, music and creative production, with more than 10 years of experience taking ideas through to finished work.
I’ve filmed and edited weekly content for Charlie Sloth and Apple Music, produced for BBC Radio 1 and BBC Sounds, and worked with artists, animators and technical teams at Bucket Studio.
That wider production experience shapes how I edit: understanding the audience, finding the story and keeping the creative brief in focus through every round of feedback.
