ABOUT
As the Lead Editor for 40 hilarious episodes of Comedy Central's Crank Yankers, I had the privilege of collaborating with an incredible team of filmmakers, guided by the multi-talented showrunner, Jonathan Kimmel. Our mission? To bring to life a cast of uproarious puppets engaging in prank phone calls with unsuspecting targets.
In my role as editor, I did more than just ensure that the puppet characters' lip-sync matched the action. I delved deep into the footage to highlight and enhance the visual humor, and I created preliminary composites for the VFX work. Our editorial team was also responsible for generating all of the sound design for each episode. I often recorded my own custom sound effects, tailoring them to emphasize the visual gags whenever stock effects fell short.
Our efforts proved to be a resounding success. Not only did Crank Yankers' debut mark Comedy Central's highest-rated series premiere since 2014, but it also secured the show's renewal for another season. To top it off, Crank Yankers star Wanda Sykes received two Emmy nominations in the category of Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance in 2020 and 2023 for her portrayal of Gladys.
