SOLO TWENTY-FOUR - (MINI DOCUMENTARY)
While working for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Rowen helped develop a unique style of editing live music for Triple J TV, cutting live performances by Lily Allen, Cold War Kids, The Shins, Silverchair and Hilltop Hoods. He further developed his own editing techniques and gained a deeper understanding of story-telling concepts while editing long-form documentaries and weekly television programs, including the ABC's flagship science program Catalyst.

Rowen's video editing background informs his approach to videography and the art of "shooting for the edit", a technique often used to make post-production more efficient.

He approaches videography with a clear understanding of editing capabilities and techniques, planning for the edit at the earliest production stages.
