Aidan Zieres

I am a talented videographer and video editor with over a decade of experience in commercial and creative production, providing in-depth end to end custom solutions based on client needs. Highly skilled in all major video editing suites. Extensive project and people management experience.

I have worked as a videographer and filmmaker for more than a decade. In 2014, I established my own company, creating commercial marketing videos for local businesses in Colorado Springs. In 2018, I transitioned to Castland Productions, where I began filming and editing videos for commercial clients.

During this period, I led the editing and development of award-winning SBIR pitch videos for firms seeking to develop technologies for the USAF and the DoD. In 2020, I joined Vindicator Media, where I helped produce, edit, and manage essential video projects for local and national businesses, and worked with a talented team to create e-learning courses for major corporations like KONG.

In 2022, I had the honor of accepting the role of Director of Photography for the independent feature film "Let Me Sleep," directed by Ryan Lancaster. In this capacity, I collaborated with a skilled storyboard artist to conceptualize and organize shots, resulting in streamlined lighting and camera setups during production. I had the privilege of managing both the Camera and G&E departments, producing visually stunning compositions that met the director's vision.

The film is currently in post-production and scheduled for release in 2023.

I possess expertise in editing software such as Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Final Cut Pro X. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in production, with in-depth knowledge of lighting and composition, and proficiency in the use of a wide range of digital cameras.

I have pursued a self-directed learning approach within my field, leveraging practical experiences and actively seeking mentorship from individuals with a wealth of expertise.
