To businesses looking to hire a videographer / editor out there: these skills take a lifetime to master! This is professional, creative work that takes time, cutting-edge technical savvy, a massive investment in expensive equipment, huge interpersonal skills, interview skills (psychology), an eye for light, a 6th sense for composition, an ear for music & pacing, AND the ability to tell a good story. So yes, writing. Stop thinking you can hire some kid to give you quality for $16.55/hr straight out of school. I'm seeing it a lot from HR departments and you're making a critical mistake. Not only is it harmful to your brand long term, but it's illogical and you wouldn't do it with ANY other component of your business. Most of your other staff don't have half of the qualifications or skills your high-end video professional carries. Why do this with the image you present to the world?

I don't know why people think there's a career path from Assistant Editor to Editor. 😂 There isn't. They are two different jobs. It's like saying how long do I have to be a dishwasher before I get promoted to waiter or waitress. In order to get a job as an Editor 🧙♀️🧙♂️ you have to *BE* an Editor. The only reason someone would hire an Assistant Editor to edit is because THEY ALREADY KNOW YOU and they're going to give you a chance to blow it for their business. Nobody's going to say well they've been assisting for 6 years, so let me hire them to edit. In my case, I skipped that phase entirely and my first job was AS AN EDITOR 🦸♂️ for music videos that aired on MTV, VH1, etc. Therefore, when I went to other companies and offered to assist them, they looked at my reel and knew that I had completed IMPORTANT programs for IMPORTANT people and they hired me to do the same thing for them. 🤝 ==== If your goal is to move from Assistant Editor to Editor, what you have to do is find things TO EDIT so you can show your work to someone who needs the same service that you've proved you can provide. You have to do BOTH at the same time. Assist and Edit. The only jobs you're going to get from being an Assistant Editor are more Assistant Editor jobs. #Business #VideoEditing #FirstWorldProblems

Professionals in my connections. As a video editor, I actively get dms from companies and individuals who need a video editor or someone in the similar position. My schedule is completely full and there is no capacity to take even a single project anymore. I thought about it for a while and I have an idea. I'd like to share those opportunities with you guys. If you're interested just share relevant information about yourself (like your niche, experience, portfolio and stuff) no need to get creative with the comments because honestly I don't read them. And if someone's requirements matches your details, I'll recommend your profile to them. *Please note that I am NOT hiring and it's just recommendations. You have to carefully choose who you work for and all the necessary measures to ensure you get paid for your work.* #videoeditor

I FULLY changed careers at 30 years old. You can do it too. Let’s make it less scary: - List out what high-leverage skills you have - Identify skills in that list that transfer across industries - What are industries that interest you enough that you WANT to learn as you go? - Spend some time researching / consuming content from professionals in that field - If it’s a fit, start conversations on social media or in-person (even better) For me, I was a music producer and composer who couldn’t make ends meet. So, I took my skillset in high-end audio production, combined that with shooting and editing video skills I learned on my own and leveraged that into getting work as an assistant editor for a friend’s company. From there it was just putting in the reps and following my curiosities. Fast-forward to today and I’ve had a lucrative career as a professional cinematographer and now creative studio owner. It’s cliché but true: If I can do it, you can too. If you found this helpful, please follow and connect with me here for more. We’re just getting started!

Looking back at my journey from a freelance Production Assistant (PA) in film to where I am today in the sports industry, Tommy Lasorda's words seem fitting: "In baseball and in business, there are three types of people. Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happened." While my time as a PA may be in the rearview mirror, the lessons learned have become the foundation of my success. In the film industry, I realized early on that simply doing the bare minimum wouldn't advance my career. Distinguishing myself meant going beyond the standard PA duties. While some PAs were content with their roles, and others grumbled about the work and long hours, I saw an opportunity to advance my position in the film industry. Anticipating needs, taking on additional responsibilities, and actively seeking ways to contribute beyond expectations became my game plan. Fast forward to today, I've transitioned from entry-level production assistant to being a key player in various professional industries. In business, as in film, success often belongs to those who step up, take charge, and drive towards their goals. What valuable lessons have you carried forward from your early career days?

🎬 Interested in a game-changing opportunity? "Person helping video editors get clients in 35000" 🌍 Yesterday, while scrolling through Instagram, I stumbled upon an ad promising just that. Intrigued, I booked a call, which cost around ₹300. After chatting with the individual and thoroughly checking their profile, they seemed genuine. However, the hefty price tag of ₹35,000 put a damper on my plans, especially since I recently switched jobs in February after leaving my previous one in January. 💸 While I may not be able to invest right now, I'm hopeful about joining soon. What's your opinion on this? Have any of you ever considered taking a course like this? Share your thoughts in the comments! #VideoEditing #videoeditor #videoeditors #videoedit

How I became a video editor from a boring call center job In 2023, I completed my intermediate studies at Post Graduate College Abbottabad. I was thinking of taking admission to a university, but due to some financial issues, I was not able to enroll and ended up getting a call center job. I was not happy because of the repetitive tasks and night shifts. However, I had a passion for editing videos. I remember editing videos of my friends just to feel good because I was so tired of my boring job. One day, I saw a post on YouTube about hiring a video editor. I immediately applied but had no portfolio, so they rejected me. After that, I started learning about video editing software, animation, color grading, sound design, etc. I then began working on my portfolio. I researched what other video editor portfolios looked like for inspiration. I wrote a script about my specialties, did a voice-over, and added B-roll and SFX to make the video. I know this is not the best portfolio, but it is the result of my hard work. What do you think? Is it good?

Are you in need of an expert storyteller for your video production needs? Look no further. Here are four compelling reasons why you should consider bringing me on board: 1.
