Hire the Best Videographers in Chicago, IL

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.

I am a professional videographer and video editor, experienced at working with commercial brands, on-location interviews and documentary-style videos. With a lifelong passion for film, I have developed my skill set to encompass the entire creative process from inception to completion. A highly organized individual I find great satisfaction in breaking down shoots in Pre-Production, implementing these materials during the shoot days, and finally organizing and editing the media. I am a capable ‘one-man-band’ with all of the video, lighting, and audio gear necessary for a multi-camera shoot. While effective on my own, I am also a team-player who works well in dynamic group settings and can give clear concise direction to others. I am effective at communications with clients, working within brand guidelines, and coordinating talent and crew on set. Exceptionally punctual and on-time with shoot days and deadlines, I feel at my best when things are moving along. I look forward to learning about your needs and finding how we may collaborate together!
