About Burnish Creative
Burnish Creative is a production and post-production studio based in Los Angeles, specializing in unscripted, reality, competition and variety television. Its work spans the editorial process from assembling raw footage and developing stories to finishing programmes for broadcast and streaming delivery. Alongside television series, the company handles promotional campaigns, branded content, corporate videos and event programming.
Founded in 2014 by Oren Castro, Ben Delamont and Ed Servaites, the studio grew out of a collaboration that began in 2009 while the three editors worked on the ninth season of American Idol. They established the company to bring their freelance editorial experience together within a shared business, offering creative collaboration from initial concepts and pitches through completed productions.
Editorial and finishing
Offline editorial is central to Burnish Creative’s work, including story editing, footage assembly, performance packages and episodic storytelling. Its broader post-production offering combines online conforming, color grading, mastering and broadcast delivery with sound mixing and audio design. Motion graphics, title sequences, 2D and 3D animation, and visual effects support both programme content and promotional material.
The studio’s integrated approach allows editorial, graphics, color and audio work to contribute to the same production process. Its finishing capabilities include 4K workflows for network and streaming specifications, while dedicated production spaces support collaboration with visiting programme teams.
Television and promotional work
The company’s reported projects include The Masked Singer, Dancing with the Stars, America’s Got Talent, Lip Sync Battle and Little Big Shots. Its work also extends to broadcast packages for the Oscars, television specials and cross-network event programming. For Netflix’s Hyperdrive, its contributions included campaign opener editing and visual asset development.
Burnish Creative developed from a small leased operation into a larger Miracle Mile facility as television demand increased. Its business remains focused on combining editorial storytelling with the technical services needed to complete and deliver entertainment programming.
