Expert Video Editor + Motion Graphics & VFX | Brand Story Strategist
★★★★★ "George guided us every step of the way, making the process not only manageable but also enjoyable. I can't recommend him highly enough." Hi, I'm George. 👋 I edit award-winning videos for mid-sized to Fortune 500 companies like Chipotle, Lexus, Marriott, LPL Financial, Graybar, WD-40 & Red Robin. And I build the brand stories those videos run on. Positioning, narrative, scripts, the content plan that carries them. → 15+ years of video production & editing experience → Telly Award in Branded Content → 48+ same-day edits (24hr turnaround) in 8 years → 237+ brand stories architected. One helped win a $45M contract. Check out my portfolio below or visit georgevk[dot]com. Let's chat! . . . The longer, sit-down version: Clients use me two ways. 1) The edit. Fast, cinematic, story-driven. Eight years at Unbridled Media taught me speed under pressure. Massive concerts, high-profile conferences, and award retreats for Fortune 500 brands. 48+ same-day edits. A Telly for Cinematography in Branded Content. Premiere, Resolve, After Effects. Commercials, YouTube, event films, product videos, game trailers, reels. 2) The story underneath the edit. I founded TRUERY, a strategic brand storytelling agency, and built the Story Architecture System from 237+ brand stories. That work is as much writing as it is video. Brand narratives, scripts, case studies, web copy. Content strategy that turns one hero asset into a month of channel content. Most clients hire me for the first and stay for the second. My favorite projects started as a single edit and grew into the brand's whole story. Either way, you get the same habits: • Where you cut, why you cut, and how you cut is everything. Every edit serves the story. • Same-day-edit turnaround instincts. They stick with you. • A straight answer. If the brief is unclear, I'll tell you what the video is actually for. And if I'm the wrong guy for the job, I'll say so and point you somewhere better. Reach out and tell me what you're making. George P.S. If you're on the fence, just know this: I edit faster than your coffee gets cold, and I make brands look so good even their competitors start taking notes.
