Nathan Schauf is an American film editor specializing in feature animation. He is a lead editor at Sony Pictures Animation, best known for his work on animated films such as Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022), KPop Demon Hunters (2025), and Fixed (2025). His career spans over 25 years in the entertainment industry, including roles in animation, gaming, and virtual reality.
Career
[edit]Schauf began his career in the early 2000s, contributing to various animated projects. Early in his career, he worked in the editorial departments for films such as The Ant Bully (2006), A Christmas Carol (2009), and Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (2012). He became a prominent editor at Sony Pictures Animation, serving as an additional editor on Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022). He then took on the editor role for Fixed, directed by Genndy Tartakovsky. Critics noted the film's frenetic pacing and dark humor, attributing the seamlessness of the rapid-fire action sequences to the film's sharp post-production work.[1] His subsequent work as editor on KPop Demon Hunters (2025) presented unique challenges, requiring the editorial team to sync complex music and dance choreography with animation that was still being developed. The directors praised Schauf in an interview for his technical ability to "solve complex scene synchronization problems" during the post-production process.[2] His specialized work in animation post-production has been the subject of discussion in industry trade publications.[3] Schauf also participated as a speaker at the industry event EditFest 2025, discussing his role on the film KPop Demon Hunters.
