In 1978 Jon Felix joined an editing company in the UK as an assistant film editor. With them he worked at many of the UK's television companies including Granada Television, Thames Television, BBC Cardiff and BBC Glasgow on a wide variety of material. He also edited news at the BBC in Belfast and at Ulster TV during the height of the troubles there. Later, he worked as a dubbing editor on noted UK drama series: Minder. This started his interest in sound post-production and around this time he built a recording studio where he produced music and early sound design for films.
In 1981 he joined commercials production company Orchid as an assistant film editor, and in 1982 was promoted to editor. For three years he edited (on 35mm film) commercials for TV: one of the youngest commercials editors in the industry.
In 1984 he left Orchid and worked at the BBC again. He gained much experience cutting a wide variety of shows for UK television.
In 1986, Jon started Paw Print, a production and post-production company that he ran for 20 years. During this time Jon edited music videos, TV shows, two features, corporate videos and TV spots.
In the late eighties - when most editing switched to video systems - Jon learned to run (linear) tape-based on-line systems such as Sony 9000, Paltex and Convergence. When non-linear computer systems came in, he trained as an AVID editor. Today he is fully trained on the various AVID systems and Final Cut Pro.
In 2003, Jon was awarded an 0-1 'extraordinary ability' visa and moved to the United States. Jon now has a Green Card and is based in California, with homes in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He edits and shoots features and documentaries, and also works as a sound designer and graphics specialist in his own well equipped editing and sound post-production suite.
