Ian Hagg

Video editor

Behind every good video there is a brilliant editor who filters out the best content from hours of raw material and puts it together into a masterpiece. And, in the best case scenario, also enter it into the video archive in a structured manner. For us, this genius is called Ian. He has a special feel for timing, tone, colors and effects. As soon as the recordings are in the box, he disappears behind the screen: sifts through, cuts, snips, plays Tetris with them, reaches into his bag of tricks and scatters confetti! Another video ready to go viral is ready. In his free time he makes music, enjoys being out in nature early in the morning and has been taking photographs for over 12 years.
