About Shea

I have 3-4 years experience with post-production (specifically video and audio editing), and have had 1-2 years of experience with writing and directing for film and theater. Earlier this year, I wrote, directed, and served as the lead editor of the narrative coming-of-age short film, The Kettle, which was produced through the LUX Film Production Club at the University of Washington. The film was shot over the course of 7 days in February, was filmed using the Panasonic DVX200 and the Sony A7IV, and was edited with Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Audition. Previously, I have served as the lead editor on the LUX short films, I Remember Everything and If You Knew Me, where I used both Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. On all three films, I was not only responsible for asset management of all video and sound files, but was responsible for sound design, audio engineering, and oversaw all color grading. In addition to writing, directing and producing the stage play, Bahay Kubo, I also served as assistant cinematographer and lead editor for a pro-shot filmed for the project. As part of my Cinema & Media Studies major in college, I have also directed and edited video art and essays about queer film theory, using Adobe Premiere Pro . All of these opportunities were strictly extracurricular and/or volunteer roles, and thus were not paid. In terms of paid positions, I was a student assistant and video editor at CoMotion, the entrepreneurial department at the University of Washington, where I was responsible for editing highlight reels of seminar talks using Adobe Premiere Pro.
