The Edit Is Where
the Story Lives.

Case study: The Last of Us

Sam Menendez edited The Last of Us for PlayStation Studios. Editing is where pacing, performance and sound turn footage into a story people feel, and it is the craft Sam has spent ten years and hundreds of commercials refining.

“I have nothing but positive words for you [Sam]. I love your sensibilities and perspective on telling a story. I’m super proud of this piece and have been sharing with friends all day long. Thank you for your patience and willingness to deliver nothing but the best quality… it truly shows through your work.”
