About this gig
Your story doesnt need a video editor; it needs a narrative architect.
High-level documentaries are crafted in the edit. I specialize in transforming complex, raw footage into compelling cinematic experiences that drive social impact and brand authority. Having collaborated with prestigious organizations like the United Nations (FAO), Stanford University, and Greenpeace, I bring institutional-grade precision to every frame.
I dont just cut video. I bridge the gap between technical data and emotional cinema, ensuring your message resonates with global audiences. What I offer:
- Narrative Architecture: I refine your script and structure the story.
- Cinematic Visuals: Expert pacing, B-roll curation, and archive footage integration.
- High-End Post-Production: Color grading (film look) and immersive sound design.
- Institutional Standards: Experience handling sensitive issues and topics like land conservation, extractivism, politics and social justice.
Specialized in:
- Social Impact & NGO Documentaries.
- YouTube Videos (Adventure travel).
- Corporate & Academic Storytelling.

FAQ
Can you help with the script?
Absolutely. As a documentary consultant, I can help refine your narrative structure or "paper edit" to ensure the message is clear and impactful.
Do you work with archive footage?
Yes. I can source and integrate historical or scientific archive footage to add depth to your documentary, ensuring all rights and aesthetics are aligned.
How can I send you the footage?
Wetransfer, Google Drive or similar are my preferred methods for fast delivery, but I'm open to other options if necessary!
What do I need to get started?
First, contact us, prepare your video files to upload and some general instructions for your idea. Do share them with me so I can review, confirm and come back to you with a price and time frame.
Why is your price a bit higher and delivery times longer than other video editors?
We will work together to create a story with your footage that will make sense + catch the attention of your audience. It is not only a matter of cut-paste a few clips into a timeline to make them look good, it is about tailormade storytelling for your specific needs!

Paco handled our project with a lot of maturity. He managed to organize the scenes in a way that felt natural, finding a narrative thread that I hadn't even seen myself. He’s calm, easy to communicate with, and doesn't overcomplicate things. If you're looking for an editor who actually listens and understands...
