HI'
My name is Juma Ma, a post-production specialist based in Los Angeles and Bay Area. I have over five years of industry experience since I graduated with an MFA degree in Motion Picture and Television from Academy of Art University, 2018. All these years of experience have given me a very good sense of understanding the whole video production process. Especially in post-production, I not only have a solid skill-set in video editing and color grading, but I also can handle basic sound design, motion graphics, green screen replacement, and social media.
Beyond techniques, I also am very confident in story-telling skills. I am good at using cinema language to catch the audience’s attention and deliver the core values and main ideas of a script in a short amount of time.
