It is with sadness that I relay the news that the music video community lost director/editor Tim Royes. His former rep, Laure Scott, shares the following:
"The beautiful Tim Royes passed away in a tragic accident in NYC last weekend. He was loved from New York to Los Angeles and his home in London. He was with The A & R Group for a few years before he went on to RSA and then Academy. He was a long time editor and friend of Sam Bayer. Tim had the gift to make people around him laugh! He will be missed so much."
Tim Royes won Best Editing In A Music Video at the 2005 MTV VMAs for Green Day "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams." Royes also edited several other videos that Sam Bayer directed for Green Day, including "American Idiot" and "Holiday." He also directed videos for Sugababes, Richard Ashcroft, Faith No More and many other acts. His directing work can be seen at academyfilms.com.
