The first step in video editing is very boring but essential for a successful project… A good file structure! I have folders for each shooting day divided into categories based on the camera used & the type of shot: static shots ( tripod) vs moving shots ( gimbal).

After organising everything I make my first selects in my editing software. It’s important to go through all the footage to familiarise yourself with the footage you have. This will allow your brain unconsciously to start making the first connections in the story line. The selection process gets more refined as time goes on until you end up with the best & most essential footage.

Once the boring stuff is behind us we can start playing around and experiment with rhythm, emotion & story. This is the fun part & here the new connections & magical moments start to unfold themselves.

Once the edit is done we enhance this by motion graphics , color grading ,music tracks and sound effects to increase the emotional impact at exactly the right moment.
