Hi there! I’m Siân (pronounced “sh-ah-n” for my American friends), a video editor and colorist originally from the UK and currently based in Boulder, CO. Growing up, I was always told to abandon the stories of film, TV, books, and video games that captivated me and instead enter the “real world”. Truth be told, that didn’t work out. Instead, I’ve dedicated my professional life to helping creatives from all walks of life give their project a voice.

My specialty is in the narrative aspects of editing, from selecting the right shot to fit a mood or creating tension or levity in a scene. I take an emotional approach to convey feelings directly to an audience. I don’t just hack away at footage until it resembles a film, I do everything I can to add something special to it. I’ve built up years of experience working solely as an editor and honed my skills working on feature films, documentaries, shorts, music videos, personal projects and everything that has a story to tell.

When a director or creative client approaches me I start by consulting with them about the script, their influences, and their goals to get on the same page from the beginning. I stay in close contact throughout the process so that everyone is in the loop as the edit evolves. I’m always happy to discuss suggestions, give feedback, and brainstorm as we go. At no point will I go radio silent, or disappear to a mysterious side job – editing is my full time job and I’m here for you. As your editor, I feel it’s my responsibility to put the final stamp on all of your hard work and I take that role seriously.

When I’m not hunched over at my PC, you’ll find me hunched over playing video games and board games, watching films, attending concerts, cooking, hiking, and enjoying everything Colorado has to offer. I spent a couple of years in Japan and left a piece of my heart there, so I enjoy studying the language and staying connected to the culture through anime, film and music.
