FILM EDITOR

LINKEDIN RECOMMENDATIONS

Michael is a super skilled and experienced editor. He is diligent, quick and has a good eye for storytelling and humour. I hereby give my warmest recommendations of Michael Bauer.
Michael is a very talented and accomplished film editor. In addition to being fiercely committed, he exhibits a distinct sense of humor, storytelling and human nature in his work. Plus, he's a pleasure to work with, which is sometimes the most crucial quality.
First and all, Michael is a warm and great person. Humble and clever, asking the right questions. Felt sure that Michael is pushing the limits to get the best out of the material. Great at collaboration and an invested storyteller.
I was very happy with the collaboration with Michael in post-production on the TV series Drenge til Viaplay (2022). Michael had a very great understanding of both Viaplay's and the director's ambitions and wishes, at the same time that he personally has a fantastic understanding of and overview of dramatic structure and complex character work. In addition, he has an ability to add fantastic rhythm and poetics to the narrative. I can only highly recommend Michael for your editing room.
I have worked with Michael many times - since we graduated from film school. He always guarantees that everything is seen through and turned and turned. When Michael is on board, you can rest assured that the material will actually be at its best, and as a director it is extremely important for me to feel that all options have been tried and no quick solutions have been attempted. Michael doesn't just raise the level for the film - in my world he is both an indispensable friend and co-creator when we throw ourselves into these - typically convoluted and long - productions. He is the first to hear about the idea and the last to shape the finished film!
As a director, I had the pleasure of working with Michael on two different documentaries that premiered on Danish National TV and shown internationally. Michael has a unique way of working with footage, being able to string it together with a pleasant musical flow, guiding the story where it's supposed to go without forcing it in directions it wasn't meant to. Additionally, he is pleasant to work with and clear about what he needs, ensuring smooth progress within the given time frame to complete the stories.
The greatest thing you can experience as a director is to see the film you have been carrying for years be redeemed by an editor. Not just an editor who manages to capture the soul of the project, but one who also adds something of himself and elevates the film to a level you never imagined. Bauer is such an editor. He is not only extremely skilled, but also pleasant and listens to work with. He gives space, but at the same time fights uncompromisingly for the best of the film.
Michael is an exceptional editor with a keen sense of storytelling that shines through in all his work. I have had the pleasure of working with him on several projects, and each time I have felt completely confident that the material was in the best hands. Michael always manages to get the absolute maximum out of every single shot. His uncompromising approach to the material ensures that the final result always exceeds expectations and raises the bar significantly. At the same time, Michael is an excellent conversationalist – both responsive and constructive – which creates a positive and productive collaboration. I can highly recommend Michael.
