Hello Everyone!
I've been working as a freelance editor since 2012, and over the last year or two, I've gotten more and more into preproduction.
This started as a request from a director friend who saw something about Martin Scorsese "shooting for the edit" and asked me if I could think of a way to do that with just a script.
I said sure, we made a lined script, made storyboards from there, and then our schedule, and then our budget. I'm also proud to say that this project was a fifteen-page short film shot over two days with 103 shots captured the first day, and 123 the next, with around sixty set-ups each day, with 12 hours including lunch and a second meal.
Since then, I've tried to do more and more in preproduction while retaining credit as editor. To date, I've 1st'd on a handful of music videos, two feature films, and another handful of short films.
Anyway, I didn't know what else to write here as an intro, the rest is in my bio, and if anyone has any tips for my profile or a lead on a gig, feel free to add me and send me a message! I'm always happy to talk film or answer questions.

I've worked solely through referral up until now. I'm adding links to my profile as I write this, though! Please feel free to click on my most recent work.
Hello Nicholas, welcome!
Beautiful work, Dude! Editors seam to be really under appreciated for what they do, am I wrong?

Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words, and I'll be returning them after I look around your profile.
And don't get me started on freelance editors! Used to be, everyone just needed some things cut together. After that, everyone wanted us to do their titles, which makes sense if I'm honest. But now, if you're JUST an editor, I really don't think one'll do vey well unless they work for a studio or post-house. Even then, I've been chided for not knowing After Effects, but after learning it, I got a studio gig cutting EPKs for a year, with no VFX needed.
I think you've inspired me to write a blog post!
