PITCH DECK CREATION

I’ve designed dozens of pitch decks and consulted on content for both scripted and unscripted film and television projects. My work includes decks for companies like The Film Deck, and several of my pitches have led to successfully optioned projects.

MOOD/SIZZLE REELS

I create proof-of-concept trailers and sizzle reels that highlight your project’s potential in under 2 minutes. Using a mix of existing footage or AI-generated visuals, these reels are crafted to grab attention and sell your concept effectively. Designed for internal use during pitching, they’re especially valuable for directors sharing their vision in pre-production or teams seeking to attract investors.

Proof of concept for the kids animation project Safari Daycare, created by Michelle Claase. Made using AI-generated footage, for internal pitching purposes only.

Mood/Sizzle Reel for the feature project Decoy, written by Michelle Claase. Created using reference footage for internal pitching purposes only.

EDITING CONSULTATIONS

I’ve collaborated with directors to refine film edits, trimming up to five minutes from feature films to enhance the clarity and storytelling. My detailed notes and suggestions focus on narrative flow and audience impact. For directors editing their own work, an experienced outside perspective can be invaluable.
