01About me
The editor behind Sopuru.vxm
I am Raphael Ibeawuchi Sopuruchi, a video editor and videographer working out of Lagos, Nigeria. I started where most editors start, cutting clips for people around me, and kept going until it became the thing I do every day for brands, organisations and creators.
Most of what I do sits between two points: what a client has, and what they actually want an audience to feel. Footage, voice notes, a rough idea on a call. My job is to find the story living inside that material and cut everything that is not it.
That work spans social edits that need to land in three seconds, brand films that need to feel considered, and nonprofit documentaries where the responsibility is to the people on camera first. Different formats, one discipline: make it clear, make it move, make it honest.
Every piece of footage is somebody’s moment. My job is to make sure it is worth watching twice.
01
Story before effects
A transition never saved a weak cut. I find the spine of the story first, then decide what the polish should do.
02
Pace is the whole game
Where a cut lands decides whether someone stays. I edit to rhythm, cutting anything that makes the viewer wait for no reason.
03
Deadlines are part of the craft
Great work that arrives late costs the client the moment. I scope honestly, communicate early and deliver when I said I would.
02Services

06Testimonials
What clients say afterwards
“We handed over three days of messy field footage and got back a film that made our board go quiet. Raphael understood the story before we could explain it properly.”
“One shoot, and he pulled an entire quarter of content out of it. The short cuts outperformed everything we had run before, and nothing ever came back late.”
“He is the rare editor who handled my ads campaign smoothly.”
