Clayton Ashley

Senior Video Editor

Clayton has been pitching, scripting, shooting, and editing videos for Polygon since 2016, mostly about important things like mysterious orbs and walking. Though his focus is editing videos for the team, he has been the lead producer of Polygon’s long-running Overboard series since its inception in 2018.

Before that, he made videos for a variety of websites including Vocativ, Space.com, Tom’s Guide, and Talking Points Memo.

A Gundam fanatic and spaceship enthusiast, Clayton’s interests tend to lie in science fiction, be it games, movies, or graphic novels. Clayton also makes movies in his own time, including the throwback horror film Exposure, which he co-produced and edited.
