MICHELLE BELFORTE HAUSER
Video Editor


I'm an experienced creative and technical video editor, expertly communicating any content, to any target audience in any medium. My core skill is collaborating with producers and directors to interpret, communicate and enhance their message with compelling videos. My work is marked by a consistent ability to infuse videos with impactful music and sound design, fostering memorable emotional connections. I thrive on balancing multiple projects with many stakeholders and tight deadlines; taking concepts from pre-production through final delivery.
I was recruited early on to be an assistant editor on feature films at PDI/DreamWorks. The editorial department, being the technical and creative hub at PDI, allowed me to collaborate with all studio departments and learn the industry from the ground up. I was quickly promoted to editor at DreamWorks and continued to elevate myself as a visual storyteller on feature films, including the Shrek franchise, Megamind, and Penguins of Madagascar.
Having embarked my professional journey at a major movie studio, I transitioned to Sony Playstation. Within this dynamic environment, I mastered promoting a brand, telling its story and developing its social media presence.
Subsequently, I advanced to the Retail group at Apple Inc, where I gained insights into crafting videos for customer-facing professionals, aiming to underscore the significance of prioritizing customers and fostering employee motivation. Most recently, I specialized in editing videos for the Today Tab within the Apple Media Products division, concurrently editing short animated films for Amazon Web Services.
