Why the UK’s Economy is Awful

As the editor for 2 and 20’s YouTube short-form analysis, I assembled and refined the full video editorially while handling SFX, sound design, and sourcing supporting footage. I managed the final export and quality checks to ensure the piece met platform delivery requirements. My role focused on crafting clear pacing and audio balance to support the host’s narrative.

  • Delivered end-to-end editing and pacing for a long-form YouTube analysis.

  • Mixed and exported final masters optimized for YouTube; the video has ~1.97M views and 33K likes.

I worked with client 2 and 20 to edit the YouTube video Why the UK’s Economy is Awful. My work centered on assembling the interview and explanatory material into a coherent narrative, trimming for clarity and maintaining a steady pace that matched the host’s delivery. The edit focused on keeping complex economic points accessible without altering the substance of the script.

Beyond cutting picture, I sourced supplementary footage and implemented sound effects to punctuate arguments and improve visual variety. I also handled sound design–balancing voiceover, music, and SFX–to ensure intelligibility and appropriate emphasis at key moments. These choices were made to support the editorial intent and keep viewers engaged throughout the runtime.

For final delivery I prepared the export master and performed quality control to meet YouTube specifications and client expectations. The finished video was uploaded to YouTube and has since accrued roughly 1.97 million views and 33,000 likes, which I include here only as context for the level of audience engagement the finished work received. Throughout the project my focus was on dependable execution and clear, platform-appropriate deliverables.
