I'll compete for this role. I'm an advanced colorist and editor, well equipped for fast turnover in 4k post. I'm proficient in Davinchi resolve, After Effects, 3ds Max, and literally a dozen other programs. Best of all, I don't require any festival tickets, transportation, etc. Just pay and credit. My work history includes work for dozens of household name companies, such as Hyundai and IBM, and I am highly articulate. I also work with a group of audio specialists, who could add detail and polish there also, if you so desired.

Here's an example of my colorist and editing work


This was shot on a drone camera, but I'm quite experienced with RED and other cinema formats. If you have time I can also improve your film with more advanced techniques like digital backlot compositing and sky replacement.


This is a short CGI film I just made recently, that shows off a different color look, and also includes some quality sound work by one of the audio technicians I work with.

If you could link me a cut of your existing film, I could give you a better idea of how much value I could realistically add.
