Emotions lie at the core of any film. When combined with clear and engaging storytelling, they become the cornerstone of film editing—a crucial element that is often overlooked.
Over the past 25 years as video editor, I have come to understand just how essential these elements are to a film's success. Skilled editing is what breathes life into a film.
Michaela Calmbacher
My name is Michaela, and I am an editor and digital creator based in Stuttgart.
In recent years, I have primarily focused on editing TV Documentaries for ARD, SWR, and ARTE. Since 2019 I am producing Reels mainly for Instagram.
During the 1990s and 2000s, I worked on projects for renowned clients such as Mercedes-Benz, Daimler-Chrysler, Porsche, IBM, Expo 2000, Telekom, and many others. Through these experiences, I honed my skills in compositing, motion graphic design, sound design, and editing.
In 2024, I brought all of these skills together by founding Soulmedia and establishing my own studio.
Currently, I specialize in creating professional Instagram reels there.
From 2007 to 2014, I worked as an editor at ARD’s TV Studio in Mexico City.
I am fluent in English and Spanish and have a basic command of French.
