About
My name is Cyrus. I operate my own freelance cinematography and editing services. Over the past year I’ve maintained a collaborative process with YouTubers where I provide camera, lighting, and editing services. I take the raw footage, organize it, and assemble into the rough cut, and with instructions apply edits to achieve the final cut. I can also provide digital color grading services to further enhance the look of the final video.
