I'm a bohemian ‘maker', a conjurer of creativity playing ”Edward Scissorhands” for
anyone with a story. I love it.
Welcome to a selection of my work, film editing is what I do and this is just a
smidge of my proudest efforts.

I would like to acknowledge and express gratitude to the many talented people I've
been blessed to collaborate with during my career. Time and again they have
entrusted me with their concepts, visions and hard work, allowing me to spin my
magic through and around adding clarity and flair - Thank you.

Hello

 

Frayne Dyke Walker

My life has been dedicated to the art of editing and my catalogue of projects cover a wide range; from television series to documentaries, short films, music videos and television commercials as well as additional editing & VFX credits on feature films.

About

 

A potted history

Started editing at New Zealand's National Broadcaster, before joining Vidcom, NZ's
first commercial production company.
Arrived in Australia to work first at Videolab, freelance for the Grundy Organisation
and PBL editing television series.
Edited at Omnicon when they first opened, then at IBM's Interactive Satellite Education Network moving into producing and directing talent there as well.
Went on to work for eight years in Peter Whitmore's team at Winning Post (now The Editors) and later was employed as an Additional Editor and VFX Editor by Marcus D'Arcy and Jill Bilcock.
I can make a very strong narrative for others, but ask me to talk about myself and it's excruciating so I’ll let my work do the talking - Enjoy.

Testimonials

  • “Frayne is the antidote to chaos, she pans for gold. Give her a pile of TeraBytes and she will build the Taj Mahal (or a beach shack, if that's what you're after). Adept at finding the story in it's absolute essence, Frayne also has the technical background to bring that story to life using pictures, sound, VFX, graphics and any other element of film-making called for. When not cutting, she is the consummate hostess, more than keen gardener and a bit of a nana driver.”
    - Bill Walker - Producer - Husband - a little bit biased

  • “What Frayne really brings to a job, is a bit of love and care, something a few jobs could do with a lot more of quite frankly. She’s got a refreshingly personal touch.”
    Simon Shattky - Chief of Culture Shift & Stuff - Chameleon Partners Limited, NZ.

  • “Frayne is, without question, a true visual magician, the high priestess of her craft and one of the best editors I've ever had the pleasure of having as part of our team. She makes us all look better than we really are and best of all, she always makes my job, well….simple.”
    Nic Craig - Fixer & Pilot - Chameleon Partners Limited, NZ.

  • “With an extreme passion for her work, Frayne is an excellent editor who will go the extra mile. With her brilliant problem solving abilities Frayne is delight to work with, add her creative flair and technical expertise and you have a winning combination.”
    - Maggie Lewis - Producer
