Selects, rough cut, and made a flashing wall for what was originally a mini-documentary of @teyanataylor being in her element in Harlem, New York. We cut it for a more focused, fierce depiction of that hometown element.

CYCY Sanders is a talented director and encourages play experimentation, and challenges when he knew when a cut lacks the finesse on which he builds his brand. The tough-but-fair type. No shot is too precious, and there was always a lot of coverage so every decision and cut matters.

My first project with CYCY (pronounced "kay-kay"). He wanted this fun, fresh, and energetic. Cut fast and play with the footage; demonstrate that you had as much fun making the video as people will have watching it. Not much to do for color correction per se; the lights at Baby Grand were plenty enough.

My role was to comb the footage for selects of the best moments, and prepare a rough cut. The rough cut evolved over time as we talked about what was "major" and "not major" (a deceptively simple but effective strategy for decision-making in the cut). CYCY took the reigns to bring home the edit for the final cut with the sharp scissor-snip freshness that defines his aesthetic and effortlessly demonstrates how, as I mentioned, looks like it was as fun to create as it is to watch.

Selects, rough cuts, and color correction for a short video introducing the MAC Nicopanda collection with @Nicola Formichetti; makeup tutorials featuring @Aquaria and Rina Sawayama.

Selects, rough cuts, and motion graphics showcasing behind-the-scenes at a show for NARS Cosmetics.

Selects, rough cuts, final cut, and color correction for 17 makeup tutorials and two sizzle reels for BEAUTYCOUNTER's Get the Look and Flawless in Five series. CyCy put a lot of faith in me for this series. Many requested revisions were made to each video over the course of two months asking for fundamental, overall structural changes as our client revised their concept to make the series the best, most-focused, most refined tutorial for beauty application we could.

A series of video for which I did a week's worth of selects and rough cuts, starring @Austin Mahone and @Sofia Richie. Included here to journal the experience only; I can't claim credit for the final release of the videos as SamanthaThavasaJP recut the entire project themselves into a more graphically-intense, episodic, romance adventure.
