Hi! I’m Sean, a video editor from Alberta, Canada! I've been working professionally in a number of studio and freelance roles since 2005.

I care about editing with purpose. This doesn't always mean creating the flashiest, trendiest edits (sometimes it does!) BUT to aim to be intentional with every editing choice made within the timeline serving the story being told.

This channel is here to help you learn from my experience and grow your own storytelling skills through editing.

Big News: New Collaboration with Riverside!

I’ve been working behind the scenes with Riverside to produce several videos covering practical storytelling and editing techniques. Some of these are geared toward using Riverside’s specific tools, while others cover universal workflows you can apply to any project.

Being a small creator is a massive balancing act with work and family. I’m incredibly grateful to Riverside for sponsoring these videos and helping me keep this YouTube adventure going!

More dedicated editing tutorials are on the way... thanks for sticking with me!
