Portfolio website: _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ I'm Taylor Wu, a Taiwan-based cinematographer and editor with experience spanning commercials, social content, narrative films, documentaries, and music videos. I am available for travel and am always happy to work on location wherever a production requires. My work in both narrative and commercial filmmaking has received international recognition, including Best Short Film at the Bangkok Movie Awards, as well as selections and nominations at the Korea International Short Film Award and the Shiny Awards. During my time working in the UK, I contributed to music video projects for artists whose albums later reached No. 1 on the UK Official Albums Chart and received coverage from BBC News. As an editor, I have a proven track record of creating engaging, high-performing content, generating more than 5 million cumulative views across digital platforms, with over ten videos surpassing 100,000 views. Alongside storytelling and creative development, I place strong emphasis on audience engagement and platform-specific optimization. I am proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve, with experience in color grading, sound design, and social media content delivery. I am experienced across a broad range of professional camera and lighting systems, including ARRI, Sony, Canon, RED, Blackmagic, HMI, Aputure, Nanlite, Astera, Aladdin, and Kino Flo. With a background spanning both cinematography and lighting, I bring a strong understanding of image creation from capture through illumination, enabling me to make informed creative and technical decisions under a wide variety of production conditions. I also own a Sony FX6 and Sony A7S III, providing a flexible, production-ready package that can support everything from agile content shoots to larger commercial and narrative productions. I have also completed ARRI’s certified camera system training.
