Veteran Talent Brings International Reel To Creative Edit/Post House

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Splice Here, (www.splicehere.tv), the creative editorial/post facility founded by editor Clayton Condit, has added 15-year veteran Herman Nieuwoudt to its roster of editorial talent. He joins a staff that includes editors Steve Fischer, Carl Jacobs and Joe Martin.

Splice Here's newest editor Herman Nieuwoudt.

"Herman brings an unbelievable set of talents to the team," said Condit. "In his 15 years of international post production he's worked on an incredibly diverse range of projects - from ads to network branding and promotion to long-form. He is just as comfortable with a creative off-line edit as he is with on-line, compositing visual effects or incorporating graphics. He is often involved with special effects projects from pre-production to finish, including pre-visualization, shoot supervision, off-line and on-line editorial. His level of expertise and versatility will be a huge boon to our clients."

A success on three continents, Nieuwoudt is originally from South Africa and cut his teeth at the Johannesburg-based post house Video Lab. In just three years he worked his way up from the tape room to full-fledged editor on ads for Mercedes, Ford and Coca-Cola, to name a few.

From there he moved to London where he maintained a successful freelance career for eight years working for Sky Television and OmniVision, an independent television production and post-production company based at the famed Pinewood Studios, and at numerous editorial/post houses. His current showreel includes work for Science Channel, Discovery Channel, National Geographic as well as numerous regional spots.

For Nieuwoudt, joining Splice Here means not only getting back into more advertising, but also helping his clients tap the collective resources of Splice Here and Mrs. K, the new production/creative design studio with offices in Minneapolis and Denver.

"I think what Clayton is building is truly remarkable," Nieuwoudt said. "Splice Here is second to none when it comes to talent and technology. But his sense of where the post business is heading overall is spot on. Clients today want to work with companies that can do a lot of things really well, and I think his affiliation with Mrs. K is extremely smart. I'm looking forward to being a part of what he's building."
