I'm Whit, a Dallas-based editor, motion graphics artist, and all-around post-production problem solver at Side Chops. I take ideas from raw footage to polished final cut, blending editing, storytelling, design, and VFX to make work that actually sticks.

What I do
Where raw footage becomes a story with a pulse. I cut until the rhythm clicks, distilling hours into something you can't look away from.
- Narrative instinct over checklist edits
- Long interviews → sharp arcs
- Pacing that lands beats, not just cuts
Visual choreography with pixel-perfect discipline. Years of working inside brand guardrails without ever feeling fenced in.
- Styleframes to final, consistently
- Brand-safe, never boring
- Clean type, smart timing
Tracking, paint-outs, comps—if it belongs in the shot, I'll make it live there. From green screen to invisible fixes, it's seamless sorcery.
- Matchmove + stabilization
- Clean plates, clean comps
- Green screen that actually disappears
Broadcast-grade grading that turns flat into cinematic. I balance precision with instinct, until every frame feels inevitable.
- Look dev with restraint
- Skin tones → sacred
- Deliverables built for broadcast
Sculpting audio like clay—Ableton, Pro Tools, whatever it takes. From subtle atmospheres to big moments that land like thunder.
- Tight edits meet textured sound
- Original effects + foley
- Mixes that feel spacious
Dimensional thinking without overcomplication. Simple, striking forms and motion, composited into the real world or left deliciously abstract.
- Blender + Unreal, pragmatic
- Clean geo, bold shape language
- Composites that sit naturally
Machine learning as a creative multiplier. From pre-vis to generative visuals, I build workflows that make the impossible… less impossible.
- Pre-vis on fast timelines
- Image/video generation for ideation
- Automations that save days
All the above, remixed for music. I design motion-driven experiences for LED walls and live shows—built for scale, meant to move with sound.
- Audio-reactive concepts
- LED wall pipeline experience
- Playable loops with punch
Bass-heavy journeys with a cinematic twist. I craft tracks that blend groove and grit—layered textures, melodic hooks, and drops that land like they've been waiting all night.
- Genre-bending bass music
- Psychedelic, immersive sound design
