Hi, I’m Michael Schneider, a versatile video editor and director with a passion for crafting engaging stories through visuals and sound. Over the past several years I’ve created creator-led promos for Streamlabs, produced platform-optimized media for digital campaigns, and elevated long-form YouTube content with music, captions, and dynamic pacing. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments and enjoy shaping narrative through visual storytelling that resonates with audiences. My experience spans directing on-site shoots, managing lighting and production logistics, and shaping stylistic direction in post-production. I’m drawn to VR filmmaking, design projects, and combining video with music to tell compelling narratives. I’m always eager to explore new ideas and bring creative concepts to life through thoughtful editing and production design.
