  • Shape pacing, music, sound, and color to support the story.
  • Own the complete post-production process including ingest, media organization, editing, graphics, and delivery.
  • Create polished titles, lower thirds, end cards, and motion graphics.
  • Cut-down hero edits into platform-specific versions across social and paid media.
  • Identify moments beyond the primary deliverable for additional content opportunities.
  • Evolve Peregrine’s visual language and scalable post-production workflows.
