Crafting Compelling Narratives Through Expert Video Editing

At Hovering Giraffe, we believe that every great video tells a story. Whether it's a high-impact ad campaign, a heartfelt documentary, or a captivating corporate film, storytelling is at the core of everything we do.

Our approach to video editing goes beyond simply piecing together clips—we focus on weaving narratives that resonate, engage, and leave a lasting impression. We understand that the power of video lies in its ability to evoke emotion, convey messages clearly, and connect audiences to a brand, product, or idea.

With over a decade of experience in post-production leadership, we specialize in helping businesses, brands, and filmmakers elevate their content through thoughtful and creative editing. From feature films to digital media campaigns, our team is passionate about shaping raw footage into polished stories that not only meet technical excellence but also achieve your strategic goals.

Our Journey and Expertise.

Hovering Giraffe was founded by Chris Lewis, a Southern Vermont native who moved to New York City in 2008 to pursue a career in film and video production. After years of honing skills across a diverse range of projects, from feature films and commercials to corporate videos, we developed a particular expertise in creating content for digital and social platforms.

Our founder's experience at Laundry Service, a rapidly growing media agency, played a pivotal role in shaping Hovering Giraffe’s foundation. As Post Production Supervisor for both Laundry Service and its sister agency, Cycle, they led post-production efforts for some of the industry’s largest brands and agencies.

In 2018, Hovering Giraffe was born with a clear mission: to offer post-production services that combine technical proficiency with a passion for storytelling. Today, we continue to partner with leading agencies and brands, delivering video content that not only meets high standards but also tells the stories that matter.

Our Passion for Storytelling and Humor.

At the heart of everything we do is a love for storytelling—and, when the moment calls for it, a touch of humor. Whether we're cutting a fast-paced commercial, editing a heartfelt film, or bringing to life the unique narrative of a brand, our goal is always the same: to craft a compelling, well-told story that resonates with viewers. We believe that humor, when used wisely, can be a powerful tool for connection, and we strive to infuse our work with the right balance of emotion and levity.
