assembly editor - tv series

Poster design from Sphinx. In the front is Minke Moorman, a 14 year old young white woman with dark brown hair, with her back turned to the camera. She has a tattoo of a set of wings on her back. She is surrounded by 2 pairs of huge bird wings, with an ominous face looming above her. On both sides are the other characters of the drama series.
Still from Sphinx. Minke and her dad are standing in front of a huge wall of newspaper clippings, photos, posters, etc. In the centre is the 'Missing' poster of Minke. Minke and her dad are seen from en profil, with their faces to each other.
Still from Sphinx. It's a medium wide shot from the back of a hooded figure, holding out their arm. On the arm is a huge predator bird, wings expanded as if it's about to take flight. In the background you can see some typical Dutch farm surroundings.
Still from Sphinx. A close-up still of Asha, a black woman with short braided hair and big rounded glasses. She is on the phone and her surroundings look like some kind of office/police station.
Still from Sphinx. This is a wide shot of Minke's bedroom. Minke is sitting cross legged on the floor on the right side of the frame, facing the left side. Across from her is an Asian woman with long black hair sitting on her knees. In between them is a stool with a metronome on it.

Sphinx is a thriller/horror drama tv-series created and directed by Diederik van Rooijen and edited by Stanley Kolk, NCE. I was one of the assistant editors and worked on scenes across many of the episodes. It was created for streaming website Videoland.

One early morning, fourteen-year-old Minke Moorman is kidnapped on her way to school. Three years later, she reappears out of nowhere, completely wild-looking, with a mysterious wing tattoo on her back. As Minke is allowed to return home and must reintegrate, the entire family faces a challenging adjustment. Unbeknownst to anyone, Minke, altered by her traumatic experience, continues to be manipulated by her captor from the shadows: she remains under the influence of… The Sphinx.
