"A first rate film editor is someone
who is a good listener, a skilled technician, sensitive to the intricacies
of a story and can themselves bring something visually creative
and exciting to a feature. In Declan Byrne you have all these attributes.
Our last project together was a BBC 1, Omnibus documentary and once
again Declan brought an energy, skill and artistic flair to the
story in a manner I have seen many times during the past 15 years
we have worked together".
Clare Delargy, Producer, BBC NI.
"Declan is a very gifted film editor and excellent to work with.
He has a finely honed critical sense, strong editorial judgement,
a sensitivity to the true value of material and a lovely feeling
for visual rhythms in a sequence. He is someone who takes great
pride in his work and who truly 'crafts' words, images and sounds".
Ian Kirk-Smith, Producer BBC NI.
"I found Declan to be an excellent, creative and supportive editor,
and a pleasure to work with. He is one of the best editors around,
I am a fan of his work. I look forward to the next time I work along
with him."
Enda Hughes, Writer & Director Flying
Saucer Rock & Roll.
I worked with Declan on Dance Lexie Dance and found him an excellent
editor and creative contributor to the project and final edit. He
worked well with Tim Loane the Director and other crew in the production
team".
