“Ruaan is a great asset to our post production process and he is our primary choice to edit such projects. Ru is the kind of guy you can brief and leave on a project for large chunks of time. This has proved especially useful in the new era of remote working.

His sense of story-telling is well honed and he builds sequences in a very fluid, natural way. He’s able to "change gear” for different needs, adapting well to faster paced promos and slower, more dramatic scenes. ”

— Graeme Duane [Creative Director - Earth Touch] 

“I've known Ruaan Botha for the last nine years, both as a close friend and admirer of his work. I would recommend him without hesitation to any business looking for a talented professional, dedicated to his craft. Ruaan’s natural talent in his field is only surpassed by his many years of experience in creative editing and the quality of his work speaks for itself.

He has an intimate understanding of the production process, and how to harness the best from the footage. His work ethic and reputation in his field aside, I can't speak highly enough of Ruaan’s personal character. A creative and ambitious personality, with genuine charisma that energises anyone fortunate enough to work with him.”

Benjamin G Hewett [Writer/Director]

“Ruaan Botha is beyond comparison to any editor I have worked with in my past 20 years of Producing and Directing Wildlife Documentaries. He has an easy and intuitive feel for storyline and narrative and he puts passion and meticulous professionalism into every job he tackles.

Furthermore, his incredible time management skills reduce tight-deadline-stress massively.”

— Kira Ivanhoff [Writer/Director]

“Ruaan has some serious skills. But aside from his flair in the edit - crafting sequences that bring extraordinary life, beauty, and unexpected emotion to the footage - Ruaan is also an absolute pleasure to work with. A relentless work ethic, seamless workflow with remote working, valuable creative collaboration and a great sense of humour - sometimes dry, sometimes dark, always funny.”
