Annabelle
Content Creation, Videography, Editing and Network
As a self-taught editor, I always wished for some guidance when it came to figuring out how to go about making an edit, finding sponsors, following trends and networking. What kind of content are we making? What is the client brand? How do we ensure the viewer stays entertained throughout the video? What are the sponsors wishes and how do we meet them? After 3 years of trial and error, I managed to figure out many effective and easy ways to deliver the best content. When trying to grow your portfolio, and develop as a film/videographer it's important to have an ever growing network of fellow editors! Send me a message if you are looking to work on anything editing, videography, socials or content related! Brands I have worked with in the past 6 months: Bulldog Amsterdam Greenmeister OCB Mascot MJ Arsenal Softglass
