Film Editor
Lucas Moesch is a Brazilian/American editor. Graduated in Cinema from PUC-RS, Brazil with a specialization in Expanded Cinema. He has worked with brands such as Facebook/Meta, Budweiser, Mcdonald's, Estée Lauder, Shutterfly, Downy, P&G, Smirnoff, Four Seasons, Campari, Spotify, Walgreens, and Etsy.
His latest music video Megan Thee Stallion - Hiss hit the #1 YouTube and iTunes charts on its release. ‘Hiss’ features Megan's powerful alter-ego, Tina Snow, and conveys metamorphosis through symbolic set design and alignment with the powerful lyrics. Symmetry is a key element in ‘Hiss’, emphasizing the duality between Megan and Tina. This thematic divide is evident in a camera split effect of the pair, achieved through consciously crafted hair and makeup, cinematography, and editing. The video also leans into VFX and technical camera work, such as facing a mirrored room reflecting both of her personas to the audience.
