Editor

I’ve worked on both short films ranging from 5 to 30 minutes and feature length films. My instincts and aesthetic have helped me capture the strongest, most compelling visuals to tell a story in the most engaging manner possible. As a professional editor, I understand timing and pacing, which has allowed me to transition from short films to trailers and most recently, feature-length movies.  I enjoy collaborating with both directors and producers as it’s important to see the story from multiple points of view. At the end of the day, an editor follows his or her gut. Our confidence is built from years of experience, which allows us to quickly adapt to any given genre handed to us.

Assistant Editor

Already have an editor, but still need an assistant? I log, sync, and set up timelines. In addition –  I also edit, rough in temp music, and SFX.  Perhaps you just need someone to hunt for stock footage? But let’s be honest, anyone can do the latter. What you need is someone who can do more, right?  I also help with GFX preps, textless laybacks, transcriptions, cue sheets, and ADR preps. On top of that, I’m also an excellent troubleshooter who has no problem getting on the phone with the software developers when the need arises.

Trailers

Teasers: Anywhere from 1 to 2 minutes. Ultimately, it’s up to the client to decide.
Full-Length: Up to 2 min, 30 seconds max. Although, big studio are allowed one film per year that exceeds this.

TV Spots: 15 sec / 30 sec / 1 min.

Rip-O-Matics (Conceptual): In general, I’d like to stick with a max run time of 2 min, 30 seconds. Sometimes, the client may want it to run a little longer. It’s important to note that these types of trailers aren’t bound by the same rules as official finished trailers are. These would be what you see on the big screen and internet.

Commercials/Corporate Videos: When I’m not doing trailers and  shorts, I’m kind of a journeymen editor and will often tackle different kinds of projects to keep the creative edge flowing.

Music Videos: I like to promote soundtracks the best I can – usually with HD footage from the movie and cues cut together by the composer (or sometimes, I’ll do it myself) to best advertise the upcoming album release.

Music Temp Track Editing and Soundtrack Album Producing

Whether it’s comedy, drama, action, horror, or science fiction, you’re going to need music in every cut screened prior to picture lock. It helps producers and test audiences understand the emotional components and helps the composer lock in on the film’s musical needs.

Need music or a soundtrack album put together? I know the composers and the studios.
