Assistant editing for clients can be quite interesting. For his Entrepreneur Series, Patrick sets up basic synced footage timelines and then passes off to me. I craft a story arc and edit between camera, add color correction, and then make 60-second social media edits. It’s interesting hearing all the wisdom […]

Upwork editing: 13 Dirty Tricks that Rogue Sellers Use to Devastate your Brand’s Value
TrackStreet’s video series is a great example of technical editing. They did a great job of filming on a green screen and all I needed to do is edit to match their brand assets. Maybe that over-simplifies it a bit, as keying and creating animated text can be time-consuming and […]
Producing for the first time, Intro to Pearson Online & Blended Learning K-12
Although I’ve technically been working for Pearson for several years, we only switched to using their branding at the beginning of 2018. That branding switch meant changing our recruiting videos from the old brand to something uniquely Pearson. This project is the first time an internal client came to our […]
Re-editing a re-edit, What is a Virtual School?
We all have that one client who wants changes to existing videos, right? Hopefully it’s not just me. This “What is a Virtual School†video has been around the block a few times, and I do understand why we keep making changes instead of creating a fresh video. It seems […]
Making the best of subpar footage with another school video
Oh boy, this was a tough one. It’s too easy, as an editor, to become super critical of footage that comes in from someone you’ve never met. In this case, I knew that the event this production company had been hired to film was rescheduled several times and ended up […]
Teachers show school pride!
When life hands you vertical cell phone footage filmed by a bunch of well-meaning teachers, make… lemonade! I had fun creating a frame in After Effects and playing around with text to accent their excitement.
Upwork editing: ForeIQ Vlog
Editing is so much more enjoyable when your client has some basic video knowledge, and ForeIQ was delightful in that respect. Patrick had been editing his company’s Video Blogs himself and just needed an extra hand, which I was happy to provide. He and Chris were clearly media trained and […]
Upwork editing: Women Hack event recap
Quite frankly, this video is sub-par. What makes the job truly worthwhile is that the client held completely realistic expectations as to what could be done with cell phone footage from this dark, loud, event. WomenHack at Intertech: Promoting Diversity in Tech
Another School Video (so many pumpkins)
Here’s a video filmed by my department that I was almost overjoyed to edit. Imagine my glee at editing something I knew would be of higher quality than the Independent Contract stuff I struggled with previously, and the video was filmed at a petting zoo. The event turned out to […]
Third School Video + Independent Contractors
Although I work primarily creating K-12 educational videos, our department’s publicly viewable work exclusively comes from Marketing. As I outlined last winter, we occasionally get to travel for school marketing videos, but just as frequently we hire an outside production company to film for us. You can imagine that this […]
