Lewis H.

I edit commercial, corporate and brand films. Give me the footage and the brief, and I’ll find the structure, set the pace, and finish the colour and sound. You get an experienced editor who can make decisions and carry the work through. I’m Lewis, an English filmmaker and video editor based in Toronto. I work with brands, agencies and production teams, often taking a project from a folder of raw footage to the finished film. I’m Top Rated Plus on Upwork, with a 100% Job Success Score and more than 100 completed contracts. I bring a cinematic approach to commercial work, with the story guiding the visual decisions. My first job is to work out what the material is saying. I review the footage, find the strongest moments and build a clear direction for the edit. An interview needs the right thought in the right place. A commercial needs a clear message and a feel for the brand. The pacing should follow the film. I handle the detail that makes it feel finished: music that supports the story, clear dialogue, considered sound design, consistent colour grading, and motion graphics and typography where they help. I work within brand guidelines and develop the versions needed for web, presentations and social platforms. Recent work includes a Dorben Group corporate film, a Faber Sett campaign and a Billy Houston book launch spanning 47 videos. One brand client said I “understood the brief immediately and executed without hand-holding”. That’s the kind of working relationship I aim for: clear direction, thoughtful decisions and useful communication. I edit in DaVinci Resolve Studio and Final Cut Pro. I’m available for individual films, documentary projects, campaign cutdowns and ongoing post-production support, with scope, review stages and delivery agreed at the start. Send me your brief, the type and amount of footage, the deliverables and your deadline through Upwork. I’ll suggest an approach and a realistic scope.
