Matthew Hightshoe

Video Editor

East Los Angeles, CA, USA
Began working as a concept artist, storyboard artist and production assistant before transitioning into working for post-production facilities as a vault coordinator. While obtaining knowledge in post-production workflow pipelines, editing was where my interest laid. This prompted a transition into freelancing in production and post-production. Primarily have been a video editor and minimal motion graphics but have assisted in directing, videography, audio recording and production coordination. Recently expanded my post-production abilities into music production as a music assistant and assistant composer.
