Rebranding my YouTube Channel
Hello hello hello!
Apparently all the cool kids have channel trailers so I decided to make one for my YouTube channel. As the channel maintains its steady growth, I keep getting approached by different networks trying to get me to sign a contract.
...which lets me know that maybe, just maybe...I'm doing something right...
I wanted to create a trailer that was around 2 minutes long and shows the wide variety of topics I cover on my channel, I also wanted to figure out a consistent color scheme and style that I could incorporate into future videos.
I built this style from a pre-made template in AE, and fashioned my "branding" around it.
My new banner on YouTube mimics the style of the video as well. I don't really want my YT to pigeon hole me to one specific topic, so I came up with the tagline "I just make videos."
Let me know what you think!
#Shooter #VideoEditor | Shea Moisture Professional Line
Over the past two months I've been collaborating with NaturallyCurly.com and Shea Moisture to bring this mini series using the Shea Moisture Professional Line.
The premise was simple, use each line on 3 different hair types. For each hair type do a different style that highlights the diversity of the hair but also the diversity of the lines.
It was so much fun working with the NaturallyCurly team on these videos. I shot the whole thing using my Sony NEX - 5T with the kit lens and my telephoto lens. I used my Zoom h4n for sound and my iKan temperature control panel lights where necessary. All three videos were shot in one day (14 hour shoot! Whew...), and I'm really happy with how they came out. Make sure to check out NaturallyCurly's full post about the videos!
To edit these videos I used Premiere Pro CC 2014 and AfterEffects CC 2014 for the opening title graphics.

Another sample of my editing work! I edited this video using Premiere Pro CC, and used AfterEffects CC for the text graphics.
#VideoEditor | DIY Oil Video Feat. Lisa Price of Carol's Daughter
It's nice to work on content that moves away from the technology and focuses more on health and beauty. I was approached by NaturallyCurly.com to edit this video, and it was a lot of fun. One thing I really enjoy about editing tutorial-like content is it gives me a chance to learn a lot about that particular topic.
The concept was simple, Lisa Price (founder of Carol's Daughter) shows everyone how to make a DIY Oil for your hair and skin.
My main take away from this video: I had no idea Jojoba oil is technically a wax!
