About

Hi, I’m Shawntae Hughes, a creative and detail-oriented video editor with over 10 years of post-production experience across films, commercials, and online content. I bring stories to life through thoughtful color, sound design, and engaging visuals, and I excel at collaborating with directors, producers, and clients to turn concepts into polished final cuts.

Based in Atlanta, GA, I lead editing and cinematography efforts on high-profile projects, manage post-production schedules, and continuously explore new techniques to improve workflow. I’m passionate about helping stories resonate with audiences through precise pacing, color grading, and sound design.
