Hi, I’m Michael Lee—a creative and detail-oriented video editor with over four years of hands-on experience in digital content creation, storytelling, and brand-focused editing. I specialize in turning raw footage into engaging, trend-aware videos that connect with viewers and drive results.
I’ve worked with YouTubers, podcast creators, brand owners, and entertainment platforms—cutting commentary clips, VODs, promotional reels, and scripted drama series. My editing blends narrative flow, fast-paced cuts, and platform-optimized content to keep audiences locked in.
In addition to freelance editing, I work closely with Focused Motions Enterprise, where I edit all branded content including short films, apparel promos, and social campaigns—each crafted to deliver high-impact storytelling and consistent visual identity.

Hustlers is a scripted drama series created for the brand Focused Motions. The series dives into themes like betrayal, resilience, and the grind behind building a streetwear empire. I handled all aspects of video editing, including:
Cutting and syncing multi-angle footage for a clean, cinematic flow
Color grading, audio balancing, and sound design
Enhancing pacing, tension, and storyline clarity
Creating trailers and teasers for promotional use
Structuring each episode to maintain high viewer engagement
This project highlights my ability to turn raw, unscripted content into a compelling visual experience built for YouTube.

From Vision to Viral: A Creative Partnership with Kayla Parilla, Owner of the Multi-Million Dollar Streetwear Brand Kingsplay Apparel
A journey from mobile editing to multi-millionaire brand collaborations.
Back in 2022, I started my video editing journey using CapCut, cutting clips on a phone screen with more ambition than equipment. Today, I’m proud to announce one of my most successful collaborations yet — working with Kayla Parilla, multi-millionaire entrepreneur and owner of Kingsplay Apparel 👑
As the video editor and director for this project, my role was to shape the energy, vision, and message of the brand into a high-impact visual — all without touching a single camera. Just creative direction, timing, storytelling, and execution.
This project isn’t just a win — it’s a marker of growth. From solo capcut projects to directing content for one of the most powerful female voices in streetwear… and we’re just getting started.
If you’re a brand, business, or creator looking to elevate your visual storytelling and build content that actually converts — I’m open for new projects.
