About
Aidan Auer

Hi, I’m Aidan Auer—a filmmaker and TCNJ graduate who is passionate about bringing ideas to life through compelling visuals and creative storytelling. I specialize in video editing, content creation, and recently, 3D modeling. Whether piecing together a powerful sequence in the editing room or building immersive 3D visuals, I’m always focused on the details and finding new ways to make each project stand out.

As an Eagle Scout, I’ve learned the value of discipline and dedication, which I bring to every project I work on.

For me, filmmaking is all about problem-solving and innovation—finding the best way to connect with an audience and tell a story that leaves a lasting impact. This portfolio is a collection of my favorite projects, showcasing the skills I’ve honed and my passion for the craft.
