Your show, filmed like a movie.

I'm Manny "Magnus" Garcia, a New York filmmaker and YouTuber. I film dance recitals, shows, events and music videos with cinema cameras, more than one angle, and audio that's actually mixed.

    Hire me in NYC

    I bring the same cameras and editing I use on YouTube to your event. You get files you can download on any phone, plus vertical clips for social if you want them.

    Dance recitals

    Every routine, from the first note to the bows.

    • Two cameras: a wide of the whole stage and a close angle on the dancers
    • Each dance as its own file, plus the full show
    • Music mixed so it's clear and the applause doesn't blast
    How recital filming works

    Shows & performances

    Theater, concerts, comedy and showcases.

    • Multi-camera coverage, cut together after the show
    • The full performance plus a short highlight

    Events

    Parties, launches, screenings and community events.

    • A highlight video of the day
    • Vertical reels with captions, ready to post
    • Speeches and toasts with clean audio

    GameSales, now a crayon cartoon

    GameSales started as a live-action sketch where I play every character. I redrew the whole episode as a hand-colored cartoon with lip sync. Same voices, new world.

    Hi, I'm Manny

    Online I'm Magnus. I've been editing video for more than 25 years, and I've hosted live events in front of thousands of people, sharing the stage with John Cena and executives from Microsoft and Samsung.

    On my camera channel I test cinema cameras, shoot RAW and try to get more out of old gear. On my gaming channel I argue about classic games and make sketches. The graphics, animation and edits on both are made in my studio.

    I'm based in the New York City area and I work in English and Spanish. If you have something worth filming, tell me about it.
