To me, Video Editing is the most creative and rewarding aspect of filmmaking. It would bring me great joy to bring your vision to life. Hi, I’m Haydon—a filmmaker with a passion for video editing and storytelling. I earned my film degree from Northern Arizona University and have edited a wide range of projects, including short films, documentaries, corporate promos, product launch trailers, travel videos, and narrative pieces. By day, I work full-time in the industry; by night (and weekend), I keep my creative edge sharp with freelance editing work. I’m fluent in DaVinci Resolve (my go-to), Colorfront Transkoder, Adobe Premiere, and Final Cut Pro—and I’m always happy to adapt to whatever workflow suits your project best. Outside the edit bay, you’ll usually find me writing, reading, watching films, gaming, spending time with my dog, or practicing photography.
