My most recent venture has seen me take over the channel of Manufacturing Insiders Podcast. Since then I have edited dozens of videos, both long form podcast, and short form ‘thought leadership.’ On top of that I will have prepared over 80 shorts from this content that will have gone up between the end of January and May 2025. At the time of writing this, I am still editing content and creating shorts for social media for Manufacturing Insiders.
Starting the Channel
This venture started during my internship at weCreate Web Design and Marketing. At the time I was just doing content uploading for client websites. However, when the owner, Nate Wheeler, asked if I had video editing capabilities, I hesitantly said yes, as the only experience I had at that time was an introduction assignment to adobe After Effects. and the 15s TV spot I created for the Vita+ Project in my Integrated Marketing Class. However, due my my established ability to learn new things quickly, Nate allowed me to head the task.
I first researched similar YouTube channels and manufacturing companies, in order to create the following YouTube Suite. This includes a logo for the podcast, the channel banner, thumbnail designs, static intro banners for the start of the videos, some graphics to use during the videos, an outro graphic, and social media graphics.
Learning Video Editing
Understandably, videos started out pretty simple. Maybe something would be animated into the video, and transitions were very simple. However, during down time like uploading the videos and rendering them, I would be watching tutorials on YouTube. I learned how to make animated graphics from scratch and even had the opportunity to try them out of some videos. Additionally, my sound design and timing gradually started improving. This, culminated in my first main project, the animated intro sequence.
