Splice: The Spaceship Studio Tour Editing

Splice — Studio Tour ft. Alissia Post-Production Editorial & Creative Direction

Some spaces tell a story before anyone says a word. Alissia's studio, nicknamed The Spaceship, is one of them. Splice tapped me to edit this tour, and from the moment the footage came in, it was clear this wasn't going to be a standard gear walkthrough.

Alissia is a GRAMMY-nominated producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter with credits spanning Anderson .Paak, Bruno Mars, Mary J. Blige, Mark Ronson, Calvin Harris, Daniel Caesar, and dozens more. The kind of resume that earns a room full of vintage synths, keyboard collections, bass guitars, drum machines, and FX racks, each piece with its own history.

The editorial challenge was giving the space its due without letting the video become a simple inventory check. A studio tour lives or dies on intimacy. The edit needed to move at a pace that felt like a personal walkthrough, unhurried and curious, while still keeping the viewer engaged and pulling them forward through each corner of the room.

The moments I leaned into hardest were the ones where Alissia lets something slip, a production secret here, a songwriting story there. Those are the beats that turn a tour into a conversation, and shaping the edit around them gave the piece a warmth and personality that matched the artist herself.

For Splice's audience, it was a window into what a world-class creative space actually looks and feels like. For me, it was a reminder that sometimes the best thing an editor can do is get out of the way and let the room breathe.
