About this service

Summary

I act as your fractional video producer and strategy partner. My goal is to take the weight of video content off your shoulders. I blend the planning mind of a project manager with the eyes of an editor to make sure your video isn't just another piece of content, but a strategic asset that fits your bigger business goals.
You get a single point of contact for the entire video journey. We start by defining what success looks like, then I handle the heavy lifting: building the project plan, writing the script, managing the filming, and crafting the final edit with polished motion graphics. My process is built on clear communication and collaboration, so you're always in the loop without being overwhelmed.
My strength is making complex ideas simple and engaging. I help businesses that might be technical or data-focused connect with their audience on a human level. I ensure your video has a clear purpose, speaks directly to your viewers, and delivers your message in a way that is both authentic and effective.
Lets build a video strategy that actually works for you.

Process

1. Kick-off Chat & Brainstorm First, we hop on a call. We'll chat about your goals, who you're trying to reach, and what makes you tick. I want to get the full picture so we can make something that truly works for you.
2. Blueprint & Plan Once we're aligned, I get to work mapping it all out. I'll put together a simple plan, maybe a storyboard or a project outline, so we both know exactly where we're headed. No surprises, just a clear path forward.
3. First Draft Magic This is where the fun really starts. I take all your footage and assets and crank out a first draft. It's the rough version where you'll see the story come to life.
4. Your Feedback, My Fuel You get the draft and tell me all your thoughts. Love this? Hate that? Perfect. We'll do a couple of rounds of tweaks, polishing the edit, graphics, and sound until it feels just right.
5. Final Touches & Launch Time for the sparkle. I do the final color and sound polish, then send you the finished video files, ready to rock for whatever platform you need. Consider it done and done.

FAQs

  • What do you need from me to start?

    Just your brilliant ideas! The more you can share, the better. Stuff like any video footage, your logo, brand colors, or even links to videos you like for inspiration gets us moving fast.

  • How many changes can I make?

    No one likes being nickel-and-dimed. The price includes a couple of revision rounds, which is usually plenty to nail it. If you need more, we can talk, it's super flexible.

  • How long does this usually take?

    For a typical 1-3 minute video, plan for about 1 to 2 weeks from when I have all your stuff. Bigger projects with more motion graphics might take a bit longer, but we'll lock in a timeline upfront.

  • What will I get at the end?

    You'll get the final video as an MP4 file, which is pretty much the universal standard for web and social media. Need a different format? No problem, I've got you covered.

  • Can you help me figure out what kind of video I need?

    For sure! This is my sweet spot. I don't just make things look cool, I help make sure they actually work. We can brainstorm the strategy together so your video doesn't just look good, it gets results.

  • Do you work with people on a regular basis?

    Yes, and I love it! I have a few clients I work with every month as their part-time creative lead. It's a great way to keep your content fresh and consistent. If that sounds good, let's chat about it.

Lee's ability to understand my project requirements far exceeded my expectations. Lee was able to grasp a complex subject, produce a draft model and add an entirely new level of quality to my project. Lee didn't just punch out a basic model, he immersed himself in the project researching multiple software options and apps to improve my original plan. In under two weeks Lee create a finished 3D animation that will be the cornerstone of a new product line for my company.

Over the past ten years, I’ve seen Lee as someone who is eager to learn, create, and grow. He’s straightforward and practical, focused on clear communication and consistently following through on his commitments. We’ve worked with Lee on a wide range of projects, from motion graphics to video production, and his ability to contribute thoughtful ideas at the right moments always strengthens the final product. We look forward to continuing our work with Lee in the future.

Lee is a rare gem who thinks strategically + tells stories that actually land. Working with him on client video projects, he consistently went way beyond the typical producer role...he shaped strategy, pushed creative thinking, and communicated visually in ways that moved the needle. He's a genuine collaborator who cares about getting the work right, not just getting it done!
