My style is focused more on character and story so I love working with a DP and crew that can dig into the technical and bring the lighting or camera expertise into it so we can collaborate and get it right.
Happy Set = Good Work. If people are treated well and feel like they're trusted to do a good job, they usually will. And the end result shows.
I like to work in different genres, pacing, media - whatever it takes to tell the story I want to tell.
Being an editor is a combination of the art and the science that goes into creating and filmmaking. You are the one who has to make the interesting choices that can really bring a story to life.
At the same time, from a commercial standpoint - knowing your tools like the back of your hand makes the work faster and more efficient so you can focus more on the "why" than the "how."
Here's a few samples that really make the cut - pun very much intended.
Hi, I'm Gregg. I've been a writer slash director slash editor slash a lot of other things for many many years. I mostly work in the world of video content creation but I've dabbled in other forms... oh I've dabbled. Dabbled with the best of 'em.
Like many a Chicago dweller I found my footing in the world of short form story-telling through sketch comedy and improv and after realizing that I was no good at corporate lacky-ness I parlayed that skill into a career as the co-owner of Big Teeth Productions, a creative production studio. On any given day I am the creative director, copywriter, editor, dog petter, and more. Which is to say that I am a problem solver.
I've been around long enough to know that you need to have a creative vision, but you need to know how to adapt. My goal is to get as close to that creative vision as possible while skiing around the moguls of opinion, fact, schedule changes, and the like. If all that has intrigued you enough to want to know more, or better yet hire me to direct your content, then good for me, and better for you - let's talk.
