I work as a commercial filmmaker across DP (Director of Photography), editing, and color grading, shaping raw footage into structured cinematic work that feels intentional, controlled, and emotionally precise. My focus is not decoration, but clarity — creating rhythm, tone, and visual consistency that hold the entire piece together. In editing, I build pacing and structure so every cut feels motivated and aligned with the narrative or brand direction. Whether it’s interviews, automotive content, fashion campaigns, or commercial storytelling, the objective remains the same: remove noise, sharpen focus, and allow the core idea to breathe. In color grading, I approach each project as a complete visual system rather than a single “look.” Exposure, contrast, and palette become tools to stabilize the image and create cohesion across different cameras, lighting conditions, and environments. The goal is never to over-style the footage, but to give it depth, weight, and continuity. My background spans commercials, branded content, interviews, automotive visuals, and fashion-driven projects. Each format demands a different balance between restraint and expression, and I adapt the visual language accordingly while maintaining a consistent cinematic standard. Hi, I’m Chiu — a professional photographer, DaVinci Resolve colorist, and editor based in Shanghai. I work primarily in DaVinci Resolve, combining technical precision with a director’s perspective to ensure that editing and color function as one unified process rather than separate stages. If you’re looking for a precise and visually disciplined approach to post-production — where editing, color, and storytelling operate as a single system — I’d be open to collaborating. For a deeper look into my experience, creative background, and workflow, feel free to explore the detailed resume and portfolio available on my profile.
