About me
A video editor who's not a total freak
Sometimes we editors get a bad rap. Maybe it's because we're always in dark edit bays, isolated with our snacks and triple-monitor setups. But it doesn't have to be that way!
I take pride in not being a total freak. Sometimes I even go outside and hang out with my friends. They even take pictures of me holding cameras in front of interesting walls while I do my best to not think about upcoming deadlines.
So when you hire me, you can rest assured every edit day is full of good company and great personal hygiene.
Process
A smooth workflow from start to finish.
From initial discovery to final approval, you can count on easy communication, quick turnarounds, and high-quality work.
Discovery
This is an initial conversation to cover things like your project goals, strategy, scope, budget, and timeline.
Onboarding
After we agree on a pricing model, we'll provide a place for you to upload all the assets needed for the project.
Execution
I'll deliver the first draft within 48 hours, on average (excluding weekends and holidays).
Feedback
I'll respond to your feedback within 24 hours. This continues until the project is approved.

Production Lead
We’ve hired Dylan as a freelance video editor on three projects so far and highly recommend working with him. Whether it’s for commercial delivery or broadcast, he’s very comfortable with the offline editing workflow and turns around cuts very quickly. In fact, I don’t think he’s ever missed a single deadline. In addition to editing, Dylan is also an excellent communicator. He’s great at talking to clients and maintains a degree of professionalism that’s up to Park Studio’s standards. If you’re looking for a fantastic editor that you can trust, I’d recommend Dylan.
Matt B.

Even while managing five accounts, Dylan never missed a deadline—always delivering high-quality work. His collaborative approach and willingness to go above and beyond made him an invaluable partner in bringing our projects to life. I can’t recommend him enough to any team looking for a standout editor.

Dylan always over-delivers. He's able to flex between different video styles and video goals very easily. Our team really enjoys working with Dylan and highly recommend him for videos you need produced fast but with great quality.
Veronica French
Director of Lead Generation at Replicant
“Whether you've got specific, detailed requirements or a basic outline with a handful of visual ideas, Dylan can make it work. In fact, I've enjoyed working with Dylan so much, and he does such great stuff, that I've continued to hire him as I've moved to new companies!”
Jennifer Tribe
Director of Marketing Content at Syncro MSP
There's usually an element of stress with working remotely with a video producer, but never with Dylan. His work is fast and he's quick to implement any revisions — exactly what you want in a go-to video editor. Dylan's work and his attitude is what keeps him top of our list.

Frequently Asked Quesions
What's included in the hourly rate?
My hourly rate covers everything you'd need for the perfect video. This includes: brainstorming, graphic design, scripting, storyboarding, video editing, titles, music, sound effects, color correction, video conversion, rendering, and uploading.
I have access to essential stock video and music libraries that are included for no extra charge. Premium stock footage, music, and voice over procurement will cost extra and be expensed at cost at your approval.
What kind of videos can you create?
There is no limit to what types of videos I'm able to create, but I'm best suited to corporate contents. I make explainer videos, tutorials, demos, screencasts, promo videos, video ads for social, internal videos, webcasts, event coverage, documentary content, text based motion graphics content, etc.
I do not typically work on short films, music videos, narrative films or with YouTube creators.
Who do you normally work with?
I work best with companies that need content and brand consistency across their platforms and channels. I work with startups that want to break into video but aren’t ready to hire a full-time video person and companies that anticipate having video needs but not knowing enough to commit to a contract.
How does your pricing work?
All work is billed on a per hour basis. Before any work begins, you will receive a complete breakdown of estimated labor time, costs, and expenses. You can save money by paying for a day or week of labor upfront.
At the end of every billing cycle, you will receive an invoice for services rendered. You can securely pay the invoice using a credit card through Stripe, PayPal, or ACH bank transfer.
Do I need to learn a new workflow?
I seamlessly integrate into the workflow you already have in place. I can join your Slack, Teams, Asana, email chains, or whatever else you use to make the process as frictionless as possible
Is this a safe investment?
All of my pricing is transparent. Hours are reported weekly. I also ensure there are no surprise charges and will let you know well ahead of time if work will be taking longer than expected. Plus, a free personalized onboarding and consultation at the start of each collaboration ensures we’re both on the same page right off the bat.
Is there a limit on revisions?
All work is billed hourly, including revisions. So technically there is no limit on revisions.
What happens if we go over our hourly package?
I'll let you know when you’ve used 75% of your estimated hours. You’ll then have the choice to buy another hourly package or switch to pay-as-you-go pricing once your hours are used up.
How do I get my videos?
All drafts are sent via secure Dropbox link, where you can stream your video and download in the highest quality.
