Mathew Wheeler - Showreel
ABOUT
I’m a video editor who’s all about crafting stories that connect. Whether it’s punchy cutdowns, unseen archive gems, or content that makes an impact, I focus on edits that make people feel something, and want to keep watching.
​
I spent three and a half years at Thames Fremantle working on Britain’s Got Talent and The X Factor, and was a big part of growing the BGT YouTube channel past 20 million subscribers. I’ve edited performances, built formats from scratch, and helped bring archive moments back to life, like the One Direction audition series, which picked up millions of views and reignited fan buzz (watch here).
​
I edit quickly, clearly, and with purpose, whether leading a project or slotting into a team. I know what makes content work on platforms, and I’m driven by story over trend. I also care deeply about meaningful work. Through Editors for Impact (active until 2025), I worked with charities and purpose-led organisations to tell powerful, socially relevant stories, and was proud to be named their first-ever Editor of the Month.
​
If you’ve got something worth saying and need an editor who can shape it, elevate it, and turn it into something people connect with, I’m here to help bring it to life.
“Matt is an excellent editor, combining creative, technical and production skills. He has great attention to detail, along with the ability to work at speed, honed by years of fast-turnaround workflows on high profile shows.
Perhaps most importantly, Matt's a great team member who genuinely cares about the things he works on and goes out of his way to make them a success. I've worked with Matt for many years under the pressure of live TV and it's always been a pleasure.”
