About

I’m Andrew Hutcheson, a self taught filmmaker and photographer in Atlanta. It started with cars and a camera and turned into a signature look: cinematic roller shoots, car films and color grades made to grow the brands behind the cars. I went all in at 19 with no film school, teaching myself cinematography, color grading and the business side the hard way. Today I also run social media for car businesses, from the research and scripts to the shoot, the edit and the weekly report.

What I do

  • Cinematography

    Roller shoots, car to car tracking, fly bys and detail work, plus stills. I shoot digital and film.

  • Editing

    Reels and longer car films cut to the music, event recap edits, and vertical 9:16 versions for every platform.

  • Color in DaVinci Resolve

    The look is built in Resolve, frame by frame. Grades matched across a whole edit, and exports that keep the grade exactly as approved.

  • Sound design

    Car edits scored with hits, risers, fly bys and whooshes placed on the frame. Loud car audio captured clean on set in 32 bit float.

  • Social strategy

    Research into what is working in the car niche, scripts and hooks, two week test blocks per format, and a weekly report and call.

Systems I built

Ironcut

Editing automation that works on the open DaVinci Resolve timeline. One command per repeat job: sound design placed by rule, a render dropped into Dropbox with a share link, or a vertical event edit with slow motion and tracking. I check and adjust, and my adjustments become new rules.

Posting OS

A Mac app that runs the social side. It syncs Instagram, TikTok and Facebook through Metricool, shows which hooks, formats and posting times work, plans the week’s content and drafts the weekly client report.

Show delivery automation

Built for a bodybuilding show client. Finished photos and videos, one folder per athlete, are uploaded to Dropbox, given a share link and emailed to each athlete automatically, with a ledger so nobody gets sent the same thing twice.

Clients

Content for brands like DJI and Insta360.
