Case Study: Allen Car Easyway — Top Tips Video Series
Client: Colleen Dwyer, Allen Car Easyway
Project Type: Long-form + Short-form Video Editing
Platforms: YouTube, TikTok
Timeline: 5 days
Investment: $885
The Challenge
Allen Car Easyway’s “Top Tips” content had already proven its value — over 10 million views across platforms.
The challenge was to:
Refresh and elevate the flagship video
Make it feel more polished, modern, and professional
Repurpose the content into short vertical videos optimized for TikTok
Maintain clarity while increasing pace and retention
This version needed to live up to the performance of the original — and push it further.
The Scope
Deliverables:
1 long-form flagship “Top Tips” video (957 words)
10 short-form vertical tip videos for TikTok
Creative freedom included:
Free-to-use music
B-roll
Text overlays
Faster pacing
Captions and platform-optimized formatting
The Approach
I focused on clarity, energy, and watch time.
For the flagship video:
Tightened pacing to keep momentum without losing clarity
Added clean, readable text overlays to reinforce key points
Used b-roll and music to elevate production value
Designed captions and visuals to support viewers watching without sound
For the TikTok shorts:
Reframed content vertically for mobile-first viewing
Built strong hooks in the first seconds
Kept edits fast, clean, and platform-native
Prioritized clarity and retention over unnecessary effects
Each short video was treated as its own piece — not just a cut-down.
Collaboration
Colleen provided:
A clear brief
Strong communication
Timely feedback
That made it easy to move quickly and refine with purpose.
Revisions were efficient and focused, keeping the project well within the 5-day timeline.
The Result
A polished flagship video that reflects the scale and credibility of a 10M-view content series
10 TikTok-ready short videos designed for engagement and retention
A cohesive video set that works across long-form and short-form platforms
Most importantly:
The content now looks as strong as it performs.
Takeaway
High-performing content deserves high production value.
With the right pacing, structure, and platform-specific editing, proven ideas can be extended, refreshed, and scaled — without losing what made them work in the first place.
