An industry veteran with decades of experience across many markets, Vee Pinot joins Whitehouse after 11 years at Gramercy Park Studios. She co-founded Gramercy Park Studios in London in 2013, before moving to New York to open the studio’s NYC outpost in 2017. Prior to her time there, Pinot worked at Noughte Films, Hogarth Worldwide, and Problem Child Studios, which she also co-founded.
Vee has teamed with agencies including Ogilvy, BBH, Grey, and VML and worked with esteemed directors such as Martin Werner, Matt Rhodes, Manny Bonnet, and Aoife McArdle. An energetic editor whose work moves and flows with inherent rhythm, Vee’s 17 years of classical dance training is evident in her work for top brands like Coca-Cola, Heinz, British Heart Foundation, Betfair and Mazda. In addition to commercial work, Vee has cut short films, music videos, and longer form content, and her work has been honored at festivals including Cannes, Emmys, British Arrows, Creative Circle, and the UK MVAs.
Vee loves to edit on set whenever the project permits and draws a surprising career parallel to editing. “My goal is to bring my personality into all the work, make it stand out, make it relevant,” says Vee. Like a scientist, I love to experiment and be inspired by the unexpected.” On joining Whitehouse, Vee felt at home from the first conversation. “The people and the highly creative work of editors I have looked up to my entire career drew me,” she says. “I have followed the careers of editors including Heidi Black, Adam Marshall, and Russell Icke for many years and felt inspired. I felt that Whitehouse shares the same values and puts creativity and craft at the forefront.”
“We’ve had our eye on Vee for a little while, admiring her work from afar,” says Whitehouse Executive Producer Ryan Smith. “From the moment we met in person, she felt like family. We just knew we wanted to be a part of her journey, so I’m delighted she’s joining us. With Vee’s wealth of talent, knowledge and experience, I’m excited to see what we conjure up together. I can’t wait!”
