Edit. Color. Sound.

I am Finley-Marian Hartmann — film editor, colorist and sound editor based in southern Germany, working remotely for clients worldwide. I turn raw footage into films people do not click away from — for world market leaders in machine building, measuring and tool technology. Award-winning editing included.

00:01 Approach

Editing and color are not craft by the numbers — they are the deliberate decision for the essence of a story.

Seven years in film — from set to suite. I stare at skin tones longer than is probably healthy, move cuts by two frames, and listen to a mix until image, rhythm and sound fall into place. The result: films that look bigger than their budget. Rooted in Baden-Württemberg, at home in every time zone.

00:03 Color Grading Live

Drag the handle.
See the difference.

Left: flat log footage, straight out of the camera. Right: the final grade. This exact difference decides whether a film looks like a phone clip or like cinema.
