Hi, I’m Michael A. Tandilyan. I’m a video editor and videographer based near the Boston area, specializing in documentary-style and branded content. I bring 3+ years of hands-on experience in post-production, on-location shooting, and media management, with strong proficiency in Final Cut Pro and After Effects. I love crafting clear, engaging stories through thoughtful editing, lighting, and sound. I work well independently, managing organized post-production workflows and shooting solo b-roll around Boston. I’ve supported full productions from pre-production through delivery, and I enjoy collaborating with teams to bring projects from concept to final cut.
