Your video should be working as hard as you are.

You have a business to run, a brand to build, a story to tell. What you don't have is time to fight with your timeline or settle for footage that looks “good enough.”

If any of this sounds familiar…

📺

Nobody watches your videos

You put time into content, then check the analytics and see people dropped off in the first 5 seconds. That's not your story. That's the edit.

🎨

Your footage doesn't pop

Flat, inconsistent color that makes even great footage look amateur. The difference between "shot on iPhone" and "shot on cinema camera" is often just the grade.

📣

Captions? Accessibility?

Platforms now prioritize captioned content. If yours don't have them, you're invisible to a huge chunk of your audience. And it's a legal requirement in many cases.

You waste hours on post

You're a business owner, marketer, or creative director. Your time is better spent on strategy and client relationships than wrestling with render queues.

Here's what I do about it

1

Video Editing

From raw footage to a finished piece that holds attention. Interviews, B-roll, archival material, multi-cam — I handle the structure so the story lands. Commercial spots, corporate films, social content, long-form docs. I've cut everything from 30-second real estate tours to feature-length projects.

2

Color Grading

I don't just "fix the exposure." I shape the mood of your project. Film emulation for narrative work. Clean Rec-709 for corporate and broadcast. Teal-and-orange for commercial punch. Whatever your footage needs — DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro, LOG or RAW, SDR or HDR — I build a look that serves the story, not the other way around.

Closed Captioning & Accessibility

Accurate captions in English and Spanish, timed to the frame. Speaker identification, sound effects notation, format compliance for social, broadcast, and web. I've written extensively about the process — captions aren't an afterthought, they're a core part of modern video production. And platforms now actively rank captioned content higher.
