Hi, I’m Emilian Stanev—a video editor and motion graphics artist with a background in video production and cinematic content.

I started my career at Hi-Rez Studios, where I maintained and improved the SMITE content pipeline, supporting consistent delivery of high-quality marketing assets. I later moved into the Cinematics Department, focusing on VFX R&D and contributing to the visual development of in-game and promotional cinematics. My work involved tools such as 3ds Max, Maya, Houdini, FumeFX, Krakatoa, and Bifrost.

More recently, I’ve worked with Convai and Snack Creative, contributing to high-impact video projects and large-scale content production. These roles strengthened my ability to deliver polished, video content under tight deadlines while collaborating across creative and technical teams.

I bring over a decade of experience crafting visually engaging content, with a strong focus on storytelling, efficiency, and raising visual quality across every project.
