Hi, I’m Dean Tamminga, a passionate video editor who loves creating compelling stories with good people. I thrive in fast-paced environments and pick up new roles quickly, from editing reels for major brands to collaborating with teams around the world on large productions—most notably during Carnival in Brazil. My strength is editing, but I bring curiosity, a strong work ethic, and a flair for storytelling to every project. Beyond editing, I’ve built a track record as an entrepreneur and project manager, managing multi-million-dollar budgets and leading teams to deliver high-quality results. I started Viaje Studios, and I’ve also run Tamminga Contracting while contributing to customer service leadership at Iron Embers. I’m excited to keep growing, taking on diverse challenges, and turning ideas into visuals people remember.

    uniE608 punchy brand corporate reel
    The reel was part of a package of reels I made for a small carpenter company. This was the very first video out of the package and was built with the instruction of being, 'punchy'.
    uniE608 Company Culture reel
    Was a fun project I did with a small carpenter company. They were looking for more social media content to help them with hiring and this was the video I shot, edited and sent. This was my first project I completed for a company during my year long video editing course.
    uniE608 Brazilian production company - Caranval production video
    Such a fun project! I joined Omnvi productions to film and edit for a variety of companies during Carnaval in 2024 in Belo Horizonte Brazil. Working in a team of 12 videographers and editors we make reels, social media ads, commercials and corporate YouTube videos for a variety of different companies. a lot of my footage was used in this film as well as a lot of the editing was done by me. Since my Portuguese isn't that good, the voice over was done by other editors and some tweaks were made after my main edit for the production company.
    uniE608 Corporate video for Brazilian state energy company.
    Also, a very fun project! This video used a lot of my footage I took during Carnaval but I was also the special effects editor. The clips were arranged by another member who then instructed me on the effects they were after and I built all the special effects, animations, graphics within this video. Also did all of the color grading and sound mixing.
    uniE608 Video Editing Demo Reel
    This is a video editing demo reel I made after my course was complete. Making completely from stock footage and targeting fast pace videos, product videos and real estate. I have a lot more diversity in the types of videos, at the time of making this reel, these are the areas I was targeting.
