About Me
Bio
I'm a Los Angeles based Video Editor with over 8 years of experience in the industry across major networks, boutique commercial post-production houses, and studio films. Recently I've been focusing on freelance social media and podcast projects so I can stay at home and hang out with my dog, but I'd be happy to go back to the office for the right position!
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, but moved to New York for college where I eventually got an MFA in Post-Production from CUNY Brooklyn's Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema. After 10 years in the city my now-wife and I, who I met FGSC, moved to Los Angeles, got engaged, got a dog, and got married. The three of us enjoy long walks to the Los Feliz 3 or The Vista Theater
Expertise
I'm an Avid Media Composer Certified User. I also have extensive experience with the Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, Audacity, StreamYard, and more.
I've worked on a variety of projects. From micro-budget shorts up to and including international studio productions where I had the opportunity to manage remote spotting and edit sessions. I have additional background working in A/V for livestreamed events, theater productions, and concerts.
I've also worked as a video producer for podcast networks, created social media content for artists, musicians, and small businesses, as well as updating existing commercial content for branded social media channels.

2017 New York Innovative Theater Awards
Outstanding Sound Design
The Red Room // Aidan Zev Meyer
The design was split between localized diegetic effects along with abstract heightened emotional beats. The content of the play was dramatic yet dark, so I wanted to increase the sense of tension without overshadowing the amazing performances. It was both fun and challenging to achieve this design, and I'm honored to have even been nominated. It feels strange to actually win the award. I never expected to be chosen, and I'm proud to have been successful in my support of this production.
Press
Unhealthy
"The sound design by Aidan Meyer included a very interesting blend of music and voices. It was the “uh oh, bad things are coming” cue. It may have been on point but it certainly added to the moment."
Michael Block
- Theater In The Now
Slaughterhouse Five
" . . . but the audience didn’t seem to care. It was enough to hear the sci-fi sound effect signifying that Billy Pilgrim (Jamie Effros), Vonnegut’s World War II soldier, was time traveling again,"
Neil Genzlinger
- The New York Times ArtsBeat blog
Blasted
"Blasted owes much of its richness to its incredible team of designers... Aidan Zev Meyer’s electronic tones provide a simple and effective sonic landscape...Overall, a solid design."
