A lovely playground for expression, as well as a tightly-controlled format that can be edited very quickly and for very little money. A script, some footage, and I can be ready to have your project done in a matter of hours or days.
Though they often take years to edit, the finalizing parts are quite quick. I will, of course, work out a deal with you if you need hundreds of hours edited. I specialize in the final editing parts more, rather than story construction, but do really love adding the finishing touches on a story and bringing it all together.
These are often a dream for editors — both quick to edit and with a predetermined direction, but also with so much room for creativity and change. I really truly love getting the chance to edit these. There is a wonderful dance between the camera, the beats of the edit, the music, and the actors/musicians that is truly a joy to work on and realize.
I have made Kickstarter videos for various bands, companies, and organizations, and have raised over $12,000 therein. The precision and execution of these is always of paramount importance, as money and the fruition of projects are always on the line. The presentation, therefore, is the key to hooking your intended audience.
If you ever need the handling of a full project — advertising, Kickstarter/GoFundMe, social media — I can handle all aspects of a full project if needed. Pricing is dependent on which services are done, and how much of each. I am an expert in all of the aforementioned fields, and work accordingly.
I work to a very clear synergy of light, sound, and pacing — and admire and appreciate directors and editors who have a very clear beat to their work. Whether we're talking the style of Baz Luhrman, Edgar Wright, Julie Taymore, or the Coen Brothers, making the cut at exactly the right frame, with no tolerance for even 1/24 of a second in error or imperfection, is paramount. Comedic timing, music, drama, suspense — it all hinges on telling your story exactly the right way, and always leaving your audiences waiting with bated breath for the next shot.
Editing is done in Premiere Pro CC, Davinci Resolve 16, and Final Cut X; though other programs are equally viable. Color work is done in Davinci Resolve, MLRawViewer, Adobe Lightroom, and Lumetri Pro. Finishing work is generally done in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder, though Apple Motion and Compressor can be used if that better fits your workflow, or if you are using entirely Apple systems.
Uploading can be done to YouTube, Vimeo, or any number of online services — or compressed to Blu-Ray, DVD, or anything you desire.
