Ellie was amazing to work with. We came to her at the last minute with a short documentary at the rough cut stage that needed help being cleaned up and finalized in a short amount of time. She came with a positive attitude and worked very efficiently and professionally. We were impressed with her work and what she was able to do with the piece in such little time. We would definitely love to work with Ellie again. -Jun
