Laura Creecy

I have edited over a dozen short form narrative and documentary films, as well as a feature documentary and a feature narrative film.  My experience ranges with drama and comedy, many projects which fall into the dark comedy genre. My strengths lay in knowing when to hold a shot and when to hit that beat that really pulls on the viewer’s emotion.

My background as a feature film assistant editor has helped me understand the importance of project management as you edit, and I am also fast at finishing projects.  I also used to shoot and have a background in still photography, so I understand production value and what it takes to get that beautiful, but complicated shot.  I believe the best projects come out of collaboration across pre-production, production, and post-production.

I have 12 years experience editing, 7 of them as a feature film assistant. I have successfully delivered 16 RED MX projects and have experience with mixing camera formats such as P2, 5D, and Arri Alexa.  I firmly believe in good communication between set and post and have delivered many file-based features successfully. My experience ranges from creating custom templates for DVD and iPad dailies, syncing and organizing projects for the editors, and managing media for temp music and sound fx.  I often get compliments on my sound work and can help in that capacity as well. I can create temp graphics in Adobe After Effects, conform timelines as VFX are delivered, and I have managed File Maker data bases for shows with over 300 VFX shots.

I also have experience as an online editor and colorist, so I know how important it is to keep projects organized for finishing.  My broad experience allows me to have a solid base as a first assistant editor. I can turn around a show in a short timespan. I’ve also managed a feature across 11 months. I am a good mix of technical and creative and the projects I have assisted range across all genres from comedy, drama, to action and sci-fi.

My work as an assistant editor has led me to freelance Online Edit numerous feature films, music videos, and documentary video projects.  I have extensive experience with Red MX footage since 2008 and own my own 12-core MacPro with a Red Rocket card.  I can online your project directly to the Raw R3D files or to DPX for finishing at other companies like Company 3 or Light Iron.

With my background in camera work and post-production, it was only natural that I gravitated towards working on set again as a D.I.T.  I have a 12-Core MacPro, a MacBook Pro, and  Red Rocket card to handle whatever cameras your production chooses to shoot with. Often times, commercials and features mix camera formats needing someone to be fast and reliable.  I can recommend harddrives for your production to purchase and can build RAID5 sets myself, saving production money to use where its needed most. I have a set cart which allows me to be mobile.
