I’ve worked with creative editor and technical guru TJ Imbrigiotta in 2 capacities: one as an editorial teammate, and one as his creative director. He’s got it all: writing chops, producing chops, and above all I’d say mad editing and motion graphics skills. He is one of the few editors who can collaborate extremely well with clients to help them achieve their vision or work unsupervised with little to no direction to provide something stellar. His capabilities in Photoshop and After Effects elevate what he has to offer any client or team. He’s one of those creative and technical hybrids you search for and once you find them you don’t want to ever let them go. And he’s charming as hell. I’d hire him over and over again.

It was a sincere pleasure to have been able to work with TJ for several years at Travel Channel. I regard him as one of the most skilled professionals I ever had the privilege of collaborating with. When tasked with a major network campaign, TJ was always the clear-cut choice as Editor to have on your team due to his proficiency in visual storytelling, expertise in design aesthetics, and his respect for the craft. He truly took it upon himself to make my job easier by being proactive, and hyper-knowledgeable of the capabilities of his editing systems in order to turn out fantastic creative. TJ proved to be a powerful asset in every aspect of the job, but I’m more thankful he became a great friend as well.

I’ve worked with TJ in a variety of capacities since 2008 - as a client when he was at Interface Media Group, as a supervisor for the four years he served as our lead editor at Envision Communications, and he has since done freelance work for us. He’s a creative and talented editor and motion graphics designer who is able to work independently and never stops at “good enough.” His attention to detail and commitment to giving the client exactly what they want is unparalleled among many editors we’ve worked with over the years. At Envision, he took on multiple additional responsibilities - helping us design complex storage solutions and serving as our de facto IT department. He possesses a rare combination of technical skills and creativity and is a generous and collegial coworker to boot. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I met TJ when he worked as a Promo Editor and I worked as a Supervising Producer at Travel Channel. During that time I knew him to be enthusiastic and to possess a high expertise for editing. TJ was not only a talented and creative editor, but also had producer-like instincts that helped him communicate well and move projects along efficiently. He was definitely a go-to editor for big launches and assignments. He handled feedback professionally and quickly, and was generally just a great collaborator.

TJ is an exceptional editor with plenty of experience cutting promos, and all that entails. The many times I freelanced at Travel Channel while TJ was on staff, I saw him be the lead editor on series sells, and also take command of topicals. I know he is proficient in Avid and Premiere, as well as After Effects, and was always on top of project management, which is always a big plus. He crushes it with co-workers, and is easy to get along with in and out of the edit chair. He'd make a great addition to the promo team here at Geo.

I loved working on projects with T.J. at Travel Channel! He doesn't need hand-holding, and he always delivers something better than the greater sum of its parts. He's also totally flexible with feedback, and a great partner in the edit suite. But most importantly, he's super talented at editing and compositing. As a producer, he made me look good!

As Creative Director of Prism Communications, a fast-paced political media consultancy, I know how difficult it can be to find editors with strong motion graphics skills who work well under pressure with multiple producers. I had the great fortune to work with TJ Imbrigiotta for a year, during which he consistently impressed me with his skill, technical know-how, and humorous demeanor that always made collaborating with him a pleasure. His knowledge of editing software and abilities with motion graphics meant that I was always happy to give him the most complicated projects, supervised or unsupervised, knowing that he would complete the work with creativity, style, and speed, improving upon concepts and always ending up with a polished end-product. Beyond his abilities at the edit desk, he often contributed to concept creation sessions, providing well thought-out insight and ideas which improved every project he touched.

TJ Imbrigiotta is one of the best team players who ever worked with us. We trusted TJ with our top projects. He was nimble in working with some demanding clients and always gave us a top notch product. He was always looking to improve his skills and kept up with the newest technologies in the editing room and took the lead in modernizing our editing and storage systems. We were a small shop and TJ was amazing at being able to wear the many hats we needed and wear them well and with grace under pressure.

Kevin Good

Director, Envision Communications

TJ was great to work with and we miss him every day. He would always beat me into work so that he could address overnight feedback, color correct, or tweak motion graphics. It was a real pleasure to work with someone who took so much pride in their work.
