NEW YORK - Commercial and music video editor Jon Stefansson has joined FilmCore New York. He will divide his time between the studio’s New York and San Francisco locations.
Stefansson comes to FilmCore (www.filmcore.com) from Cosmo Street in New York where he established himself as a respected commercial editor. His work there included a campaign for Virgin Mobile and Fallon that picked up a One Show Award and a Silver Lion at Cannes last year.
The “truth” ads that he cut for American Legacy Foundation (Arnold Worldwide and Crispin Porter + Bogusky) have also won numerous awards, including Andy and One Show awards. Stefansson has also cut broadcast promos for HBO, ESPN, MTV and Fuse, as well as music videos for artists as Common, PJ Harvey, Tricky and Wyclef Jean.
In addition to his commercial and music video work, Stefansson has cut several branded content projects for Wieden & Kennedy, and edited documentaries. Recently, he cut a short narrative film, directed by Michael Karbelnikoff of HKM.
FilmCore New York’s new office launches with three editorial suites, with a fourth suite planned to open in the near future. Each suite is equipped with an Avid Adrenaline editing system connected to an Avid Unity server.
