Behind the Prysm
Since its opening, Prysm Studios has formed core partnerships with a handful of highly respected artists in addition to Gilbert, who edits as well as oversees all projects from start to finish.
Most notably on the roster is Greg Sunmark, a well-known editor in the post-production community. In addition to creative editorial, Greg also does sound design and, having experience in AfterEffects and Smoke/Flame, is very comfortable and familiar with compositing and motion graphics.
Also on the roster is Adam Bruno who has eight+ years of experience editing in the ad industry. He has helped tell the stories of brands like Boeing, CenturyLink, Citi Bank, Glade, and Illinois Lottery to name a few.
