ABOUT

 

As an Editor on Crank Yankers, I sought to bring an animation editor's sensibility to puppet-based live-action. Besides lip-syncing the dialogue to the action, I recorded bespoke sound effects to underscore visual humor, crafted split-screen composites to isolate performances and sharpen timing, and restructured scenes to clarify storytelling.

Using knowledge gained as a director at Jimmy Kimmel Live and Ellen, I sought to bring a deeper understanding of pacing, composition, and performance to our editorial process, while working closely with showrunner Jonathan Kimmel and our directors to achieve their creative vision.

This approach helped Crank Yankers earn Comedy Central's highest-rated series premiere since 2014 and got the show renewed for another season. Crank Yankers also received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance for Wanda Sykes' performance of Gladys in a sketch I co-edited.
