MERCEDES GONZALEZ

Video Editor | Motion Graphics






Hello! I am an experienced Video Editor utilizing Adobe Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. I have also experience as a Motion Graphic Designer using After Effects and Photoshop.

I have worked on documentaries, music videos with local artists, narrative, and corporate videos for Sephora; Rodan + Fields; ASG @ Google (Google macro events: Google Cloud Next 2018, I/O 2022); Repertoire Productions; The Marlowe Pugnetti Company, San Francisco based ad agencies such as OWC, School of Thought and Madrone Studios; Reebok and IGN Entertainment. I have also created Instructional videos for FasTrak.

In my last full time job at R+F, a cosmetic company based in San Francisco with its own production studio in-house, I created 75 videos: product launches, consultant's testimonials, nonprofits programs supported by R+F, stunning award trips' highlights, and Annual Conventions promotional videos.
Smoakland, a short that I edited, added special effects and helped with pre-production, was selected for the San Francisco Frozen Film Festival 2018, and screened on July at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco.

I have always been a keen observer and explorer of the world around me. I consider myself a natural storyteller, always trying to find the balance between substance and style, spontaneity and commitment, provocation and grace.

Originally from Spain (Madrid) based in San Francisco for many years, I had a previous career in Psychology. Swing and fusion dancing, hiking, having a good laugh with friends, reading witty writers work, cooking, eating, and watching movies and tv series are the kind of things that make me very happy.
