My goal is to bring quality films to the viewers where they can experience and feel the characters in the show. Part of this objective is to cut down violent shots, unnecessary movements and vague scenes. I have edited a wide variety of film shoots from commercial, musical, to production shows. My over twenty years experience in film editing in several companies have strengthened my innate skills in editing shoots, audio compression, and scene and angle selection. With extensive experience in using film-editing equipment and softwares, I am confident that I can produce coherent films that will truly convey the director's vision.
