Hi. I'm Kai. I'm an experienced creative Jack of All Trades. I'm proficient in quick-turnaround video editing, comprehensive and fun 2D animation and efficient videography. I work with YouTube Creators such as TomSka, Tom Scott, The Game Grumps, FilmStories UK, and I've worked for companies like Warner Brothers for EPK (Electronic Press Kits) and Behind-The-Scenes Videography and Interview Editing. I've consistently edited video (and audio) podcasts for podcasts on YouTube and provided my editing for video essays, trailers, promos, narrative editing for short films, music videos and social media shorts. Basically, I've done pretty much everything and I'm open to learning new skills and workflows as I go. I can do anything you need (within reason) and provide concise communication throughout, leaving you with a fabulous end product. Thank you for taking the time to read, and I hope I can help you with your projects.
