Ryan Hensley

Hi, my name is Ryan Hensley. I am a Boston based freelance editor / DP originally from Oak Ridge, TN (yes we glow in the dark thanks to the Manhattan Project) and I am a huge Tennessee Vols fan. My wife tells me that it borders on complete obsession, I prefer to think of it as enthusiastic support. However, I share that same enthusiasm for editing and storytelling. This is what drives me to create the best work I can for every project I work on.

My professional career began in 1997 as a Combat Photograhper / Videographer for the United States Marine Corps. From there I had a brief, yet adrenaline filled stint of employment at a news station in a top 20 market. It was at this point in my career that I developed my quick editorial decision making skills and the technical speed to see those quick decisions make air. However, I quickly realized that my heart and soul was not into broadcast news, but more in to creative storytelling. Next, I was hired on to the staff at DNP Studios in Orlando, where I served as their Sr. Editor for four and a half years. The projects at DNP Studios ranged from regional / national commercials to feature films and music videos as well as corporate video. When my wife and I decided to relocate to the Boston area in 2006, I freelanced for about a year. One of my main clients made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, so I began working at Viewpoint Creative in Newton, MA. as one of their Sr. Editors. There I worked closely with motion graphic designers as well as Flame and After Effects artists to create award-winning network promos and movie trailers/teasers.
Flash forward 2 1/2 years and I am now back on the freelance market and recently won an Emmy with Fox Sports for our Live Coverage of MLB’s Postseason Baseball. is the resting place for my editing alter-ego. Please have a look around as there are tons of full length clips in the portfolio section to check out.
Clients with whom I have had the privilege to work with throughout my career include the likes of ABC, Bud Light, Discovery, ESPN, Fox Sports, HBO, MLB, NASCAR and Subway among others. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Happy Editing!
Ryan
