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.

I DID NOT create a reddit post asking for thumbnail design for my YouTube channel. I don’t know who did but I’m getting an influx of emails regarding it. I can’t seem to find the post on reddit so if anyone knows what’s going on please let me know. Sorry to everyone who applied for the fake job on Reddit thinking it was me. This is not me.

Merry Christmas everyone! I don’t post many personal things, so I thought I’d start here. It was really tough this past year for me, lots of client work falling through, layoffs etc. lots of changes. I know it’s been tough for a lot of you out there so I hope and pray it gets better.

The silver lining was that I got to focus more of my efforts on YouTube and I’ve been blown away by the positive comments, feedback and growth. I just want to make the best videos possible that help others find some success in their creative work and careers. Thank You!! 🙏

Here’s a janky Christmas tree picture of my studio in disarray, just imagine this mess outside the frame next time you watch one of my videos 😂
