Jim Weedon » Red Production

Jim is known for his attention to detail, distinctive visual style and the importance of sound within his work.

He began his career as an editor, first in music videos then features and has a long list of credits, including the Elysian Fields sequences in Gladiator and the title sequence for Hannibal. He broke into commercials soon after and in 2001 was awarded a D&AD Pencil for Outstanding Editing on the Adidas campaign.

On Sir Ridley Scott’s suggestion, Jim started directing and soon won the BBC New Directors Award.

Jim’s hard hitting spot for Motor Neurone Disease Association best showcases his position as a visual effects director with strong performance and great visual style. It won a Yellow Pencil at the D&AD awards, Best Crafted Commercial of 2009 and Best Sound Direction at the British Television Advertising Craft Awards. It combines intimate performance with powerful visuals, seamless effects and flawless editing.

His adrenaline-fueled teaser trailer for the the video game Metro:Last Light has won 3 LIAs 2012 for direction, editing and cinematography and is nominated for various upcoming awards. Jim continues dazzling us with his visually thrilling work in commercials but we are also stoked to announce Jim will be embarking on shooting two feature films later on this year - exciting stuff!
