Hi there, I’m Brendt Rioux. I’m a video editor and animator with proven experience handling film and TV assets for major clients. See my recent work for Amoeba Music Hollywood here: _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ I’m an exemplary communicator focused on outstanding written and oral correspondence. I’m versatile and forward‑looking, embracing technical innovation in every role, with deep audiovisual expertise spanning video editing, animation, and graphic design. Most recently, I’ve served as lead editor for Amoeba Music’s popular web series, “What’s In My Bag?” I feel that my experience with EPK style interviews and music videos with an emphasis on multimedia asset management has prepared me to excel in this exciting role. I edit complex interview content and illustrate discussions using a combination of animation, typography, and motion graphics sequences. By applying a dynamic tempo to expertly researched content, I’ve increased viewer engagement. By scheduling interviews, graphic design tasks, post-production processes, video deliveries, and QCing final deliveries, I have demonstrated my expertise with creative client collaboration. My sense of urgency helps me prioritize multiple simultaneous projects, while remaining calm and collected under the pressure of deadlines. Previously, I worked as an editor for Pilgrim Media, where I used Avid Media Composer to edit a full slate of unscripted motorsports shows for the Discovery Channel. This experience working with a diverse team of creatives in the Street Outlaws franchise honed my rapid multitasking skills. I edited video, mixed audio, and designed animated graphics, pivoting between high-priority tasks on tight deadlines. I’ve also created animated sequences for two feature-length documentaries and a theatrical trailer for the repertory re-release of the classic British film, Bronco Bullfrog. I’m also experienced with editing multi-platform social campaigns for both corporate and nonprofit clients. Generally, these projects have required me to serve as a one-person post facility, working from sizzles to assemblies to final cuts, then color correcting and encoding for multiple platforms. As an organized specialist with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, and DaVinci Resolve, I can quickly translate abstract ideas into dynamic visuals with a strong sense of typography and a keen awareness of YouTube and social media culture. Thank you for your consideration, Brendt Rioux
