Matt Lane
@mattlane
Creative video editor and videographer who delivers high-quality footage with meticulous, organized workflow.
AustraliaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a creative video editor and videographer with contract experience editing market videos, and hands-on production work across weddings, real estate, and surf filming. I bring strong standards to every deliverable—committed to quality and accuracy, with clear marketing support and polished final edits.
Before and alongside production, I’ve led work on-site and managed business operations as a trades professional, building practical management skills, strong interpersonal skills, and reliable problem-solving habits. I’m driven to succeed and set very high standards—whether I’m camera operating for a 90-minute environmental documentary or coordinating edits and business admin.
