Hi, I’m Christopher Palazzolo, a Chicago-based video editor, motion designer, and writer with 6 years in post-production. I earn the viewer’s attention quickly by shaping message, pacing, and using motion graphics to guide the eye, while trusting the audience to keep up. I understand who I’m talking to, tell the story so it resonates, and treat everything else as a tool to serve that purpose. Whether I’m collaborating with a creative director or translating a stakeholder’s half-formed idea on my own, I turn “we’ll know it when we see it” into “wow, that’s it.” I value clear briefs, constructive feedback, and delivering high-quality work on fast turnarounds for product demos, SaaS explainers, training libraries, social content, and more.
