Hi, I’m John Paul Kitchener, a Creative Video Editor and VFX Layout Artist with professional experience in feature films, series, and social media content creation. I specialize in editing short-form videos for TikTok and Instagram Reels, crafting hooks, dynamic pacing, clean cuts, captions, color grading, and sound design. I’ve produced 40+ social media advertisements for businesses including Mr. Puffs and Maurya Kitchen, and I excel at maintaining a consistent visual identity across campaigns. I thrive in fast-paced production environments, collaborating with clients and teams across animation, FX, and compositing departments, and I bring a cinematic editing style with strong attention to detail, camera tracking, and matchmove. I’ve led VFX workflows on-set and supervised post-production to ensure cinematic framing and visual continuity.
