EDITOR PORTFOLIO
Trained in a variety of editing styles which incorporate transcripts, sound design, music, color theory, animation, motion graphics, typography, film, narrative, documentary, advertising, education, real estate, research, reports, financial planning, estate management and the ability to craft meaningful creative media that draws in attention while communicating complex ideas, themes and thoughts of mind. Skilled with Premiere Pro, Final Cut, Avid, and many other programs.
During the fall of 2023 I spent 12 weeks editing and designing/animating motion graphics for a series of advertisements for
the NUTRISYSTEM brand. There were several, but these two were special.
"Grit" is a short film I conceived, directed, and edited in 2010. This project serves as a testament to my proficiency in storytelling, sound synchronization, color grading, sound design, and post-production finishing. Notably, the film successfully participated in various esteemed film festivals, including Palm Springs ShortsFest and the Bare Bones Film Festival in Muskogee, Oklahoma.
In 2017, I took part in a worldwide editing competition organized by the rock band Imagine Dragons. They generously shared a Dropbox folder containing all the raw footage and music, challenging us to craft a music video from it. I took charge of not only the editing but also the creation of all typography, visual effects (VFX), and motion graphics in the video. I have included this project in my portfolio because I take great pride in my final edit, even though I did not emerge as the contest's winner. What are your thoughts on it?
In 2008, I had the privilege of representing Walmart when I traveled to Torrington, CT. During this trip, I created a video that highlighted the dedicated Walmart associates who volunteered their time to support a local nonprofit called Christmas Village. Within a single day, I conducted interviews with key individuals, captured B-roll footage of both the store and Christmas Village, and then returned to edit the material. The final video was presented during a Saturday Morning Meeting and broadcasted to all store associates, reaching an impressive audience of about 5 million viewers. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and I look forward to creating similar videos in the future.
