Music video edit for Openfield Publishing
A rhythmic music video edit and grade for an independent artist. A case study by Carlos Mendoza, Video Editor & Colorist.
Challenge
Openfield Publishing, a children’s book publisher, shot a music video in one night with limited coverage and needed an edit that felt bigger than the budget.
Solution
I cut to the rhythm with deliberate pacing changes, used speed ramps and in-camera effects, and graded a moody look that became the artist’s visual signature.
