Born in Champaign, Illinois and raised in Seoul, South Korea, Isaiah moved to Los Angeles in 2010 to pursue a career in film. After beginning in physical production, he found himself drawn toward the dark arts of post-production, building experience across color grading, picture editing, assistant editing, rotoscoping, and 3D animation.
Isaiah is an post-production specialist with 10+ years in professional post-production, specializing in ingesting media, transcoding, organizing footage, and prepping for edit in Premiere and DaVinci. He excels at syncing multi-cam footage, creating stringouts and assembly cuts, applying markers, conforming assets for vendor delivery, QC/exporting, and troubleshooting post issues. A proactive team player with strong workflow knowledge, he is comfortable addressing technical notes, supporting editors on fast-paced projects, and bridging production and post. AI-forward in his approach, he actively experiments with emerging tools in Premiere, DaVinci, and related workflows to automate repetitive tasks, speed up turnarounds, and improve quality control. He has contributed to projects that have screened at major festivals, including Sundance.
His work in music videos and branded content has included collaborations involving major artists and brands such as Apple, Marvel, Lyft, and BTS. Outside of work, Isaiah is an enthusiast of obscure and underground cinema, always searching for the strangest films he can find, the best sushi he can afford, and new developments in visual effects, AI, and VR/AR technologies.
