What's Your Story

I am a creative storyteller in the post-production industry. I am an Editor based in Atlanta, GA. I was first introduced to the craft through my love of sports and an interest in journalism. I thrive in a multitude of cutting room environments.

I am Erich Hoberg and iEdit Creative TV (unscripted, narrative, live event coverage), sports-related and branded content, and corporate messaging campaigns for screens of any size. I provide comprehensive editorial solutions.

Don't Just Push the Button

My journey didn't start with a camera and re-enacting scenes. It started with an interest in journalism and documenting things. I first learned the craft at CNN/SI during the height of sports highlight shows. 25 years later, experience creating stories quickly while scrutinizing every frame is as valuable as ever. Of course, I've witnessed how the industry's evolution became the disruptive changes it is facing today. Yet another opportunity to grown, learn, and adapt.

Through it all, collaborating directly with Producers, Directors, and other creative vendors to develop concepts, discover unforeseen stories, and add just the right finishing touch is still my favorite part of the creative process. I'm always open to new ideas and share my own thoughts and ideas constructively. I'm trusted to leverage that shared creativity and my technical expertise of hardware and software to create multi-dimensional stories that evoke human emotion.

Ready To Start? Let's Finish it

A skilled Editor with 25 years of experience developing and crafting compelling unscripted and narrative storylines, live event coverage, and highly visible sports-related and branded content, and corporate campaigns for screens of any size.

Skills include a proficiency in Avid Media Composer, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop. I know enough After Effects to be "dangerous" and I know my way around Davinci Resolve for media management and round trip workflows. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and adaptable. I manage time and deadlines well.

My experience includes other editorial duties too. I'm comfortable with more technical roles like data wrangling and DIT, tracking and creating changelists, turnovers, and deliverables for multiple points of distribution. I have designed entire post-production workflows to ensure proper media management that secures intellectual property and maximizes efficiency.

Eye of the Beholder

If you ask me, my work is rarely finished. There is always something that can be refined or tweaked right up until a major milestone or the ultimate deadline. It doesn't matter if stories have time to develop over a longer period of time for a reality series on networks like MotorTrend and The Weather Channel, narrative projects, branded content, promos, and corporate projects or if the stories unfold in unexpected ways at a breakneck pace in the world of sports on TNT, TBS, ESPN, and NBC, I'm almost always refining the edit, like a chef does his or her dish in a cooking competition series, right up to the very end.

My main goal is to suck the viewer in and lose themselves in a story. It's no wonder then, that the edits most people don't even notice are the ones I take the most pride in.
