  • Edit and Assemble: Cut and sequence raw video and audio into polished, cohesive narratives aligned with client brand guidelines.
  • Post-Production Polish: Execute color correction, color grading, audio mixing, sound design, and basic visual/motion graphics integration, including titles, lower thirds, and transitions.
  • Creative Collaboration: Partner closely with film production crews, creative directors, copywriters, and art directors during brainstorming sessions and revision cycles.
  • Platform Optimization: Adapt core campaign assets for various digital and social formats, such as vertical 9:16 for TikTok/Reels, 16:9 for YouTube/Connected TV, and square layouts.
  • Project Management: Juggle multiple concurrent projects under tight, fast-moving agency deadlines while maintaining organized project files and server archives.
