George Samuel
@georgesamuel
I’m a senior video editor who builds story-driven edits with color grading, audio, and motion graphics expertise.
What I'm looking for
I fell in love with editing after joining an editing workshop in 2011, and since then I’ve worked across documentary films, music clips, online TV shows, and commercial videos. Over 10+ years, I’ve owned the full post-production pipeline—editing, color grading, audio mastering, and motion graphics—using Premiere Pro, After Effects, Adobe Audition, and DaVinci Resolve (Certified DaVinci Pro Colorist).
Most recently, I led Arabic-language editing for The Alpha Talks Show and the Shoghl 3ali S4 podcast, shaping pacing and visual rhythm across long-form and short-form content. I also ran end-to-end production at Sotir Media, handled VFX and reconforming at Flare Studio, and led my own editing operation at FOCUS Studios—always driven by story, rhythm, and structure that make footage feel alive.
