Trim out the trite, correct the color, amp the audio, move it with music, stomp in some sound-effects, toss in transitions, titles & sell it with story!

I had a large file for an hour and a half movie that needed final editing. John was most helpful. Courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. He was always in touch with and we worked well together. Highly recommended.

Working with John/Expansive Media exceeded all expectations. With cheerful professionalism and imagination he crafted an elegant video to honor a beloved art teacher, seamlessly combining interviews and images into a beautiful tribute that moved the subject deeply, for which our group is deeply grateful.

Was very pleased with Expansive Media handling my wedding video editing project. John was very responsive to my project needs. He is a skilled video editor who was able to read my vision for the project and delivered the final cuts ahead of schedule.

John was a pleasure to work with as he created a promotional video for our Junior Achievement facility in Appleton. His ability to bring out emotions and provide more than just a visual is very impressive. I would highly recommend!

John is so easy to work with and was very gracious with our requests, revisions and ideas. We can't recommend him highly enough. A team player and true gentleman. Thank you, John, for a great job on our video!

Good Idea
+ OK Footage
= Amazing Results. (wait..what??)

You'd be surprised at what can come out of the ordinary.

You don't have to be a Spielberg. 🎥

Most of the time, the video sent to me is NOT shot professionally. And that's not a problem.

There's a story in your footage.

I can help you get there. And we can turn that into your own masterpiece. To whatever end you had in mind.

It's the emotion that moves people!

Not the look of the film or the tricks of the camera. In every bin of footage I sift through, somewhere inside is a good story - let me help you tease it out.

Let's Make Something Meaningful...

WHICH DESCRIBES YOURS?

Families with photos and videos

For those that are seeking the joy that comes with creating your own project, whether that be an epic family trip video, a photo montage honoring a special occasion in life (wedding, memorial, lifetime achievement) Expansive Media can bring your vision to life.

It's as simple as letting us in on your vision, getting the footage over to us (we make that easy) and viewing and providing feedback on our drafts along the way.

We've worked with visionaries from age 20 to age 90.

Companies, Start-ups & Idea People

Trade Show videos, Product Launches, Company Events (you know, like a video that introduces a new idea to the team at the annual shin-dig).

Exhibit Booth Vids, Branding Vids, Company Culture, Internal Videos and so on...we can do great work together, at affordable rates!

Indie Film-Makers

For those of embarking on the dream of bringing your creative vision to life through a short film or a documentary we can help you in more ways than you might guess.


If you are about to embark on filming scenes, we can help you out with dailies, for example. By sending your footage (via our MASV transfer portal) at the end of a day's shoot, we can quickly drop it into a timeline, apply a pre-discussed look, and upload a low res version for you to view before you proceed to the next location or scene.

Whenever possible, you want to get it right, when filming. Don't hope to "fix it in post".
