Hi, I’m Brandon Wayman Ludlow—a senior video editor, animator, and creative director with 20+ years of experience delivering high-quality video content for Fortune 500 brands, global agencies, and top-tier artists. I love collaborating with clients to translate bold ideas into visually compelling stories, from commercials to documentaries, music videos, and social campaigns. I’m proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, including Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop, and I thrive on solving creative challenges with color, motion, and sound. Beyond editing, I lead creative direction and post-production workflows to ensure on-time delivery and consistent quality. My approach blends storytelling with meticulous craft—color grading, sound design, and motion graphics—to elevate brands and engage audiences across TV and social platforms. I'm always exploring new techniques and formats to help brands stand out in a crowded media landscape.
