The Editor
About — a profile of the guy in the edit bay, Chicago, since 1989.
JAKE BLACKMAN.
Video editor, Chicago.
Passion struck early for me at the age of ten, after me and my friends submitted a video clip to "Funniest Home Videos" that made it into the show. I've been editing video ever since.
After graduating Indiana University, my professional career began in Chicago, leading to video editing roles in news, sports, politics, and the corporate world.
I serve everyone from the small town business to the top, globally recognized brands. It's my goal to evoke emotions in the audience through compelling and dynamic storytelling.
