Joseph Headrick

Shaped drama about Hugh Hefner’s personal life, social-justice crusades, and brand built around the famous magazine. This series allowed real music so it was a fun change of pace to find and edit the best actual music for a scene, and this spanned the 1950s through the 1980s. Worked with stems and library music from Extreme and Audio Network as well.

Edited eight one hour episodes in this Action/Drama series chronicling the rise and fall of iconic gangster Al Capone and “The Chicago Outfit.” It was fun to heighten drama in a new way in a genre that has been done many times before, similarly with full music and sound editing responsibilities as well as picture.

Edited eight one hour episodes in this Action/Drama series beginning in the aftermath of the Civil War. The United States transforms as icons such as Jesse James, Ulysses S. Grant, General George Armstrong Custer, Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp stake their claim. Similarly with full music and sound editing responsibilities as well as picture, this series provided a great experience to edit within the modern take of the dark western history genre.

Action/Drama about the world’s greatest competitions for innovation, edited across more time periods opening up the musical palette from more traditional orchestral film score editing to modern and electronic music. I similarly got to edit multi-track music in new arrangements and transpositions while heightening the drama through sound editing. And I often used Ableton Live to transpose, change tempo, add audio effects, and otherwise edit and design sound effects for the series. I also did some cold open trailers for this series as well.

As lead editor, I shaped the fun and flashy style in early episodes of the hit DIY series. I also was preditor, shaving hours and hours of process and b-story culture scenes down to comedy and how-to gold! I worked closely with the executive producer to ensure that the visions of the series and all the deadlines were ment. If you haven't seen it, it's featuring your favorite Amish builders from "Vanilla Ice Goes Amish," as they travel the country, renovating homes and experiencing the rest of the country for the first time as only the Amish can. Definitely worth a watch!

As lead editor, I shaped the fun and flashy style across all episodes of this hit DIY series. I worked closely with the Executive Producer to meet deadlines and exceed expectations.

As editor and preditor, I scoured hours of footage to shape a comedic how-to series featuring Vanilla Ice, which was rated highly and renewed for a second season which I lead edited, as well as a spin off series "Amish Renogades" of which I lead edited early episodes of before moving to another job commitment. During this season I worked closely with the executive producer and also served as finishing editor.

Edited, sound and music edited 2 episodes on the Emmy-Nominated hit series "Brain Games." Episodes: "Don't Be Afraid" April 29, 2013 How fear plays into your perceptions on things. Games and scenarios involving trying to remember things when there is fear involved, how sound effects and music can make a scene look scary.

"Illusion Confusion" June 17, 2013 Optical illusions highlight how powerful our minds can really be.

Edited 3 episodes of top rated Discovery ID series about a famous homicide investigator who solved almost 400 murders. The tone was drama and at times horror and I utilized filmic sound design and scoring elements of those genres to great effect.
