Neli Ballestero
@neliballestero
Editor & filmmaker crafting sound-driven stories for brand and social content.
What I'm looking for
I cut stories for brand campaigns, social content, travel, and ad creatives, with pacing, sound design, and visual rhythm driving the edit.
In my freelance work I’ve done advanced Premiere Pro edits across vertical short-form, talking head, tutorials, testimonials, and campaign content, plus color grading for consistency across series.
I treat audio as part of the story—leveling, music integration, and effects—while also assembling B-roll and supporting visuals that match voiceover and scripted material.
I’ve produced performance-driven Meta ad creatives focused on hook strength and precise cuts, and I integrate generative tools like Midjourney, ChatGPT, and Claude for prompt-driven ideation and early concept development.
