BIO
Need a razor-sharp editor, a technically savvy motion designer, a colourist with taste—or just one person who can do all three without breaking a sweat?
Look no further than Andy Fernandez.
With over 20 years of experience in film, television, and digital content, Andy has carved out a reputation as one of Sydney’s most sought-after editors—combining creative flair with serious technical muscle. Dubbed a “Cine Samurai” by a fellow director with cuts so fine and precise he could be a black belt in Edit-Fu, Andy blends a lyrical cinematic style with seamless pacing, emotional resonance, and an unmistakable visual edge.
He’s worked across pretty much every format under the sun—TVCs, feature films, drama series, reality television, music videos, branded content, and more—bringing heart, humour, and a refined sense of story to every project. His client list reads like a media who’s-who: Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, M&C Saatchi, Leo Burnetts, National Geographic Channel, Coca-Cola, Bentley Motors, Nickelodeon, ABC and SBS to name just a few.
While he’s a graduate of the prestigious Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS), Andy’s real schooling has come from the cutting room floor—shaping narratives for major film studios, production companies, agencies and networks over hundreds of fast-paced projects. Whether working on-site or remotely from his cutting-edge edit suite, Andy delivers high-end post-production with speed, polish, and grace under pressure.
As long as there’s a good story, good people, and beautiful imagery, Andy’s in.
Oh, and coffee… lots of coffee.
Andy is amazing – we had a dog’s breakfast of social media edits and he whizzed through them like no editor I have seen before. fast, efficient with an amazing attention to detail. Easy to work with and adds nice touches and flares to edits. Couldn’t recommend him more.

Andy was great! He stepped in on a quick turn around programme and adapted with speed and skill. It was a relief knowing the project was in the hands of a fast working professional who was also easy going (apart from his coffee demands). He did a brilliant job and I’d work with him again in a heartbeat.

Andy is super fast, incredibly collaborative and so easy going. He jumped in to an existing project at the last minute and very quickly got across all of the requirements and kept us updated with his progress at every step. Being so adept at Premiere and AfterEffects is a massive asset.

Andy is a very quick and talented editor. He works well with our producers and is very versatile. He has edited long format current affairs pieces, 30 minute forum style shows and shorter packages.
I would definitely hire him again in the future.

Andy understands how to pull a story together, how to collaborate and take feedback, how to use the tools and how to enjoy himself – what more could we ask from a gun-for-hire editor?
