Kyle Whitmore began his career in the film industry many years ago as a production assistant, working on countless high budget commercials and music videos. Simultaneously, he was refining his craft as a studio and touring drummer for a number of renowned punk rock, indie, and hardcore bands. It was these two passions in his life, music and film, which laid the foundation for his natural transition into post-production. Armed with a vast knowledge of filmmaking, and a truckload of musical talent, Kyle was able to brilliantly climb the ranks at his first post house from runner, to assistant editor, and after much hard work and determination, he became one of the most reputable editors in the business.
As an advertising film editor, Kyle has been responsible for leading the editorial process for some of the world’s best-known creative teams. Spending over a decade in post-production, he’s cut some of the most innovative campaigns for agencies like 72 & Sunny, CP+B, Deutsch, and GSD&M to name a few. Kyle is also a master at understanding the needs of his clients, and is able to constantly offer his insight to keep the edit “on brand”. His client list includes massive brands that place great scrutiny on his work, which delights and empowers him, because they’re always stoked on the final cut.
Most importantly, Kyle is a storyteller, who truly understands visual pacing. From Super Bowl spots for Samsung, to long form documentaries to raise charitable awareness, to hilarious campaigns for Carl’s Jr. and Best Buy, Kyle is extremely versatile and able to swiftly adapt his editorial techniques to meet the needs of even the most demanding client.
