This was a promo video and digital ad made for a world premiere comedy play, called "Beside Myself". This video features the playwright and leading actress who explain the plot of the show and have audiences meet the people behind the script. Video shot and edited by myself (no pun intended)

Together with @Omar Duyarlar we are working very hard on the last things before our launch of Halate.
The 1st of September we are finally fully launcing and we have been busy with some new content!
Excited to share the result soon!

Good luck
Recently shipped a lot of 1-day, 2-day or 7-day productions for product launch videos.
Of course, spending more time would enhance the end result.
Though, the power of shipping this fast though is that, if done right, it forces you to let go of minor flaws and focus on the core message.
By going through the entire production & launch cycle repeatedly,
you get faster, sharper, and more confident with every single video.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big believer for big budget projects where a lot of time can be spend on finetuning.
I get that.
There's just certain magic behind shipping fast.
What do you think?
Agreed there's magic in shipping fast, repetition builds instinct in a way that endless polishing never does. I'd push back a little on "letting go of minor flaws" though, how do you tell the difference between a flaw that's genuinely invisible to the client and one that's just easier to ignore under a deadline?
Getting out of your confort zone might be one of the best moves in Video Editing. Why?
This was about a year ago. The style, although simple, took a loot of time and effort to recreate.
I took inspiration on a video sent by one of my friends and on that day, that video inspired me to create this.
It was my first attempt at doing something completely different than usual, but it turned out actually great!
And the best part? I still delivered the video in time without any other revisions to make.
Delivering something you'd never tried before with zero revision rounds is honestly rare. What was the one technique in here that felt the most outside your comfort zone while you were making it?
