Post-production Specialist
Post-Production
Need a lead or assistant editor? Someone to help develop a post-production plan, budget, and workflow? I have the experience to efficiently take your project through the finish line. Equipped for both in-person and remote editing.
Additional services include: motion graphics, coloring, effects, and sound design. Quick turn-around and day-of-event socials are a specialty of mine.
“Editor-on-set” is one of my favorite ways to add value to a production. Hiring me for a shoot guarantees a head start for your post-production team. As media are recorded, I can seamlessly organize, back-up, transcode, upload, and even start editing, often enabling you to leave set with assemblies and rough cuts.
Additional production services include: DIT/media management, AC, Grip, and PA.
