I run my own travel content channels across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. I am happy to be given a reference video along with the raw footage and be told "go and edit now" and I will come back with something you are happy with, leaving you stress free knowing I am taking care of your video like I would do with my own content. I can help plan ideas for your next upload, come up with weekly strategies to boost engagement and grow your online following. Having great videos is pointless if we ignore the human factor: your audince! What I can help with: - Editing TikToks / Reels / Shorts - Adding captions and subtitles - Sourcing any background music (copyright free) - Improving pacing and flow - Planning content and growth I'm looking forward to being apart of your project and growing your channels along side you!

I’m a video editor who creates custom visuals with AI image and video models when stock footage doesn’t fit, doesn’t exist, or would slow the project down. I work with custom, local workflows (including ComfyUI), which allows for consistency, control, and styles that don’t look templated or generic. Alongside editing, I bring a strong technical background, which helps on projects that need more than just cuts, structured timelines, repeatable formats, audio consistency, and clean delivery at scale. Editing is fully human-led: pacing, structure, timing, and storytelling all happen in the timeline. AI is used only on the visual side, generating images, short video elements, and atmospherics when appropriate. Most of my work is in YouTube, educational, and long-form content: talking-head videos, explainers, instructional material, and projects where clarity, restraint, and rhythm matter more than flashy effects. I’m comfortable keeping edits clean and invisible, letting pauses breathe, and supporting the content instead of overpowering it. I use AI tools (including custom ComfyUI workflows) to: - Generate visuals instead of hunting stock - Create consistent styles across a video or series - Fill gaps where footage is missing or impractical AI is a visual production tool, not an editing shortcut. The creative and editorial decisions stay human. I also bring a strong technical background, which helps with: - Complex timelines and structured projects - Audio cleanup and consistency - Repeatable workflows for ongoing channels - File formats, delivery requirements, and version control Clients tend to value that I’m calm to work with, communicate clearly, and don’t need hand-holding. I ask questions early, flag issues before they become problems, and focus on shipping work that actually fits the brief. If you’re looking for: - A thoughtful video editor who can also create custom visuals - Someone who understands AI tools without treating them as magic - Clean editing for educational or long-form content - Reliable ongoing support rather than one-off chaos then I’m likely a good fit.

My name is Kealan Schmidt - I am a 24 year old professional actor/voice actor, and a graduate from Wellington’s art school: Te Auaha. I have been passionate about acting since 2010, and specifically studied the field from 2019-2021. Since then I have delved into a variety of professional opportunities, including 'The Haka' (a noteworthy New Zealand short film) and a solo performance in Wellington's 'TAHI Festival', as well as a theatre of adaptation of the feature length: 'Births, Deaths & Marriages'. In addition, I have developed strength and experience in voiceover work, with projects in voice acting for animations/video games, as well as voiceover for radio commercials, general endeavors and audiobook narration. I currently work under an audiobook company and pursue additional work via Upwork.
