Great footage is only the starting point. The real challenge is turning it into content that makes people stop scrolling, keeps them watching, and still feels polished enough to represent your brand.

I’m a Short-Form Video Editor & Colorist with 8+ years of experience, helping brands and creators turn raw footage into engaging, premium-looking content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and social media ads.

Hey everyone. My name is Luisa and I’m a Chicago-based filmmaker, cinematographer, video editor, and colorist specializing in cinematic, story-driven video production and post-production. I hold a BFA in Cinematography from Columbia College Chicago and work both independently and through Big Monster Studio LLC, the Chicago-based production company I co-own. This allows me to take on everything from focused editing and color projects to productions requiring additional crew, equipment, and full production support. My work spans narrative, commercial, branded, documentary, music video, event, social, and digital content. I can help with: — Cinematography & Videography — Video Editing & Post-Production — DaVinci Resolve Color Grading — Interviews & Testimonials — Commercial & Branded Content — Music Videos — Documentary & Narrative — YouTube & Long-Form Content — Reels & Social Content — Event & BTS Coverage — Photography — Producing & Production Support — Multi-Camera Production — Audio Cleanup & Finishing — Titles & Motion Graphics EDITING & POST-PRODUCTION I work primarily in DaVinci Resolve and can take a project from raw footage through final delivery. I’m comfortable receiving interviews, B-roll, photographs, music, scripts, client notes, and large amounts of raw footage and finding the strongest story within the material. My approach to editing is driven by story, emotion, rhythm, and audience. I don’t simply assemble clips—I look for the moments that communicate something, build structure around them, and use pacing, music, sound, graphics, and imagery to support the story. CINEMATOGRAPHY & PRODUCTION My foundation is cinematography, so I approach production through lighting, composition, movement, lensing, color, and visual storytelling. I have my own Sony FX30 4K cinema production setup and can scale productions through Big Monster Studio with additional crew, camera, lighting, grip, and audio resources when needed. I’m based in Chicago and available to travel throughout the U.S. For out-of-state productions, I can also coordinate equipment through professional rental houses when that is more efficient for the project. COLOR GRADING Color grading is an important part of my work and one of the reasons I work in DaVinci Resolve. I work with Log footage, color-managed workflows, shot matching, skin-tone refinement, secondary corrections, tracking, look development, and final mastering. Because I also work behind the camera, I understand the relationship between lighting and exposure on set and what ultimately happens in the grade. My goal isn’t simply to apply a LUT—it’s to create a cohesive visual language appropriate for the story, subject, and brand. HOW I WORK I can work from an established creative direction or become involved earlier to help develop the visual approach, references, structure, and workflow. My visual inspiration comes from cinema, photography, painting, museums, music, architecture, and my everyday surroundings. ShotDeck is often a starting point when I’m developing cinematography and color references, but I use references as inspiration rather than something to simply reproduce. I value clear communication, preparation, collaboration, reliability, and attention to detail. Whether I’m editing remotely, color grading a finished film, or working with a crew on location, my goal is the same: create work that feels intentional, polished, and emotionally effective.

Hello, my name is Ivan. Originally I am from Russia, but I am currently based abroad. I am open to new projects. Let’s stay in touch—if not for this exact project, then for any future work as well. I offer a full-cycle workflow, handling video editing, color grading, and sound design personally (Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci, Photoshop, Lightroom). This ensures a unified artistic vision while saving you the budget of hiring three separate specialists. I am not only skillful with this software, but more than that, I have developed a keen eye for detail, a strong sense of narrative and visual style, and a captivating pace and flow. With a background in journalism and talk radio, I don’t just assemble footage; I sculpt dialogue and narrative to ensure your message is clear, persuasive, and perfectly paced. Beyond the creative side, my advertising experience means I thrive under tight deadlines without compromising quality. I have a refined intuition for capturing a client’s vision, and I embrace revisions as a vital part of bringing the project to perfection.
