Nicholas Wayman-Harris

Nicholas Wayman-Harris was a British film editor latterly based in Santa Monica, California.

Wayman-Harris worked on music videos with some of the biggest artists in the music world, including Radiohead, U2, Puff Daddy, The Spice Girls, Björk, Blur, Depeche Mode, George Michael, The Verve, Oasis, Kylie Minogue, Thirty Seconds to Mars and OK Go. His vast body of commercial work included major campaigns for Ford Motor Company, Bacardi, Toyota, Nike, AT&T, Audi and Compaq to name but a few.

Following on success from several short films including A Little Worm, Nicholas made his first foray into features on Event Horizon when he was asked by director Paul Anderson to cut the Visions of Hell sequence in the film. His first full feature was The King is Alive directed by Kristian Levring . Levring was part of the Danish collective who created the influential Dogme movement. The King is Alive was Dogme IV, and featured Jennifer Jason Leigh who won best actress for her role in the film at the Tokyo Film Festival. Nicholas was nominated for the "Best Editing" award at 2002 The Robert Festival (The Danish "Oscars"). The King is Alive was picked as an official selection at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. A second collaboration with Levring, The Intended, featuring Oscar winners Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker and Oscar nominee Janet McTeer, premiered at the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival.

The film, Sinner directed by Marc Benardout, was awarded Best Feature Narrative at the 41st Brooklyn Arts Council International Film & Video Festival and Grand Jury Best Feature at the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival.^{[citation needed]}

Nicholas worked with the Strause Brothers on the 2010 sci-fi film "Skyline", a fast-paced and visually stunning alien invasion film.

Highly respected by his peers and colleagues, Nicholas's tutelage and generosity at his company NWH Editing Ltd launched the careers of some of today's leading commercial and music video editors.
