Summary
Known online as Simon or SimonGodly, I’m a freelance video editor with over 5 years of experience, specializing in high-quality content for YouTube creators and gaming-related brands.
I’ve collaborated with top content creators like Braxophone, Saintontonas, Tectone, E-thin, and many others — creating everything from clean A-Roll videos with advanced motion graphics to stylized edits, sponsored content, and powerful storytelling pieces.
My editing style blends cinematic direction, strong sync with music, MoGraph techniques, and creative pacing — all self-taught through years of dedication. I’ve also worked with the anime-focused crypto project Villain$ARC, crafting impactful anime edits with a dark, villainous style.
I’ve won multiple AMV editing tournaments and anime festivals, and I constantly strive to improve, pushing myself creatively with every project.
Currently, I’m expanding into motion design and eventually plan to explore 3D workflows as well. I'm passionate about visual storytelling and always ready to take projects to the next level.
