I wish there was a simple, flat fee pricing structure I can give you, but it isn’t that simple. Each project requires a custom estimate to account for the different criteria. I had 2 minute long edits take only days to complete and I had 30 second commercials that took over a month. The difference can be vast.

In a nutshell, I am selling you my time. Estimates for video editing, sound design and color grading are based on the perceived amount of time each project can take. I want every opportunity to work with everyone that needs my help. I can assure you there is no project too big, or too small, for me so please do not hesitate to reach out.

Please fill out the contact form and let’s start talking about what you have in mind.

Besides it being rare that one person can handle all stages of post production, it helps with clear communication, consistent aesthetic, less cooks in the kitchen, quicker turnaround and saves a lot of money. Hiring a separate professional for each stage of post production inflates the budget, creates more moving parts, requires more time to work with everyones schedules and increases the risk of potential problems.

Absolutely! Since I am selling you my time, that means you can get my help with any stage of the post production process that fits your needs or budget.

It is common in the post production industry to have professionals focus on only one craft. Marketing agencies, directors and cinematographers, often build relationships with colorists, editors, animators, composers and sound engineers they like. Just make sure to communicate any details beforehand so we can ensure a smooth hand-off/transition to that stage of the project.

Not at all. This will come as no surprise, but 99% of all my jobs are remote and most of my clients work remote as well. As long as communication is open and transparent, things move smoothly.

Over 15 years!

I started making skateboard videos and was a sponsored skateboarder as a teenager. I got a Sony VX1000 with a Century Optics ultra fisheye lens, that propelled me to new heights.

From there, I got a job working at In-Three which did digital stereoscopic 3D for movies already filmed in 2D. I was working on Peter Jackson’s “King Kong” managing a team of 60 employees at 18 years old. Blinded by love, I quit my job and moved to Paris France with my long term girlfriend at the time.

After moving back from Paris, I got in a bad motorcycle accident at 21 years old that left me in critical condition for several years. I stopped my career in the film industry for 7 years while I got my life situated, not knowing if I ever get back into post production again. Long story short, I got back into video editing by making motorcycle films (I still rode motorcycles after my crash. Only quitters quit hahaha). Now I have been self employed going on 8 years! Wow, time has flown.

No, I do all sized projects! Some people can look at my list of clients and feel intimidated that their project isn’t big enough for my time. Some of my most steady work I get is from the “smaller” projects for social media, tutorials, product launch, etc.

Fun fact: In between big films, directors and cinematographers often do commercials and music videos for income.

I currently have a home office out of Schertz, Texas which is a nice middle point between San Antonio and Austin Texas. I spent the last 10 years of my career working out of Denver Colorado and decided to start a new chapter in life, and my career, in Texas. I love it!

Yes! It is not uncommon to set up a satellite workstation for certain projects and I am happy to do so.

I had the opportunity to do the stage visualizers for the Dan + Shay Arena Tour and I had an editing setup right there at the main stage. That was such a great experience.

Throughout the years, I have formed many relationships with the production industry. If you need a producer, director, cinematographer, etc., let me know and I can help put you in touch with the right people.

I will work with anyone that gives me the opportunity. While I have repeat clients that I have maintained relationships for years with, I am always working with new team members. It’s actually something I look forward to. There are some incredible creatives out there that have pushed me to produce some of my best work.

I am self taught. Matter of fact, I am self taught in all my creative endeavors which includes calligraphy, leather crafting and motorcycle fabrication.

We have a wealth of information just a Google search away. I am against traditional schooling and feel there is only a small number of professions that need formal education. Trade school, apprenticeships and online learning has always been the best investment and got me to where I am today with no student loan debt.

If you want any advice, or want to pick my brain on how I got to where I am today, please reach out and I am happy to share what I can.
