Hi, I’m Madi Emenheiser, a Portland-based video editor focused on post-production for documentaries and commercial projects. I started my career at Lost Planet Editorial in Los Angeles, growing from intern to assistant editor. Working in various roles at the company gave me a holistic understanding of post-production, from receiving media and building projects to working with clients in the editing bay and prepping everything so the finishing process runs smoothly. Currently, I work as a freelance assistant editor for Portland companies such as Arts Academy, Revery, and Dayshade Studio. By working with such a variety of creatives and companies I've become incredibly versatile, learning new software and procedures to achieve the client's vision. I'm particularly adept at media management, monitoring the ingesting, transcoding, and archiving of all media moving through production.
