Editing Director, Editor, and Generative Storyteller
I am Michael Weintraub, an Editing Director, Video Editor, and Content Creator with over two decades of experience in the television and media industry. My career has spanned a vast range of productions, from high-impact promos, commercials, and viral campaigns to long-form documentaries.
I have supplied editing and direction services to major, leading broadcasters in Israel and globally. My portfolio includes work with Viacom Channels (MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon), HOT, Walla!, Channel 9, various Lifestyle Channels, and many other prominent media houses. This extensive background has equipped me with masterful technical skills across all industry-leading post-production software.
The Foundation: Rhythm and Narrative Pacing
My approach to editing and narrative flow is deeply rooted in rhythm and timing—a unique understanding forged during seven years of study in the percussion department of a music school. This background provides me with an innate sense of pace, timing, and dynamics—fundamentals that are critical to compelling video editing and storytelling.
Specializing in Generative AI
In the past year, my passion for creation led me to specialize in the revolutionary field of Generative AI. I now focus on fusing classic storytelling with this innovative technology to create cinematic, emotionally-driven films and consistent, dramatically-rich scenes.
I work as a true creative partner. You define the vision; I handle the entire, customized execution, beginning with the Shot Breakdown.
The AI-Powered Cinematic Process (End-to-End Direction):
Pre-Visualization: AI Character Casting, virtual Location Scouting, and Generative Storyboard creation.
Visual Execution: Transforming stills to full-motion animation (Cinematography Direction).
Post-Conform: Dialogue creation, Music, and final Post-Production driven by the principles of Editing Direction and my expertise in rhythm and pace.
My work is precision-engineered to bring your unique narrative to life with uncompromising cinematic craft. Join me on this journey where technology and imagination build the future of film.
