About Nomad Editing Company
Nomad Editing Company is a creative editorial and post-production studio founded in Santa Monica, California, in 1996. Its work spans commercial advertising, branded content, feature films, television, streaming media and music videos. Originally established as a boutique offline editorial house serving commercial directors and advertising agencies, the company has expanded into an integrated post-production business with a presence across North America, Europe and Asia.
Creative editing remains central to its work, with capabilities covering narrative storytelling, comedic pacing, multi-camera assembly and both offline and online editorial. Editors work alongside in-house visual effects, design, color and audio teams, allowing projects to progress from the initial cut through picture finishing and sound delivery within the company's production network.
Integrated post-production
Nomad's visual effects capabilities include on-set supervision, 2D and 3D compositing, CG integration, beauty retouching, matte painting and Flame finishing. Its design work encompasses concept development, motion graphics, animation, main title sequences and brand packaging. Color services include digital intermediate correction, telecine grading and the development of visual looks.
The audio offering covers bespoke sound design, original music composition, music supervision, ADR, voiceover casting and recording. The company also provides Dolby-licensed 5.1 and 7.1 cinema mixing and supports linked audio sessions through Source-Connect and ISDN. These capabilities complement its editorial and finishing work across advertising and longer-form productions.
International collaboration
The studio operates across Santa Monica, New York, London, Tokyo and Austin. Its international growth included the establishment of a London business, expansion into Tokyo in 2018 and the opening of an Austin studio in 2022. Collaborative infrastructure supports media sharing and project handoffs across time zones.
Nomad works with advertising agencies including Wieden+Kennedy, TBWA\Chiat\Day, BBDO, Deutsch, Droga5 and Goodby Silverstein & Partners. Its portfolio includes broadcast commercials, product-launch films, experiential campaigns and music videos, alongside editorial contributions to feature and episodic projects.
