Video editing
The part I've been doing longest. You send the footage, I find the shape of it — pacing, music, the moments worth keeping, and the ten minutes nobody needs to sit through.

Hi, I'm Emrys. I edit video and draw animation for people making things they care about — documentaries, courses, vlogs, and the occasional talking fish.
Family Adventure Summit 2018 — event highlights, San Miguel de Allende.
What I do
The part I've been doing longest. You send the footage, I find the shape of it — pacing, music, the moments worth keeping, and the ten minutes nobody needs to sit through.
Hand-drawn, frame by frame. I graduated with an Advanced Diploma in 2D Animation from CG Spectrum in 2022, and animation has been the thing I keep coming back to ever since.
Titles, lower thirds, kinetic type, and the small moving pieces that make a video feel finished instead of assembled.
Selected work
Documentaries, course videos, event films, and one animated fish.

Event highlights from a gathering of adventurous families in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Hey there! I founded Crystal Cut Studios back in 2017. Since then I have edited and produced various video projects with a number of clients from around the world. If you have any questions or wish to discuss your own project, you can reach out to me here.
Tell me what you're making. Even if it's a mess of footage and a vague feeling about how it should end — that's usually where the good ones start.
