Role: Editor

I edited the YouTube feature Why Nepotism is Quietly Killing the Economy for client 2 and 20, turning interview and script footage into a coherent, audience-facing piece. The brief required a measured tone to present complex economic ideas, so the edit focused on clear sequencing and visual support for key points.

My contributions included selecting and integrating archival and stock clips to illustrate arguments, creating and placing SFX to punctuate transitions, and refining the sound design so dialogue remained intelligible against a musical bed. Attention to pacing and cut timing kept the narrative momentum while preserving the episode’s explanatory detail.

Final delivery included export masters optimized for YouTube. The video has since accumulated over 255,000 views with strong engagement (7,908 likes and 538 comments), which provided useful context for the edit’s reach and audience response.

I edited a long-form explainer titled Why Putin’s War Machine is Running Out of Gas for client 2 and 20, delivered for YouTube.

The goal was to maintain a factual, measured tone while keeping the runtime focused and engaging.

On the technical side I handled sourcing and matching archival and news clips to the script, layered SFX to support transitions, and refined dialogue and ambient audio to improve intelligibility. Sound design choices were driven by pacing needs–subtle reinforcement of beats, smoothing of audio inconsistencies, and clear moment-to-moment emphasis without distracting from the reporting. The final exports were prepared to client specs for YouTube upload.

The finished video provided a polished, broadcast-ready package for 2 and 20’s YouTube audience and served as the delivered master for publishing. As a reference for reach, the video accumulated approximately 291,289 views and 7,277 likes on YouTube, which helps contextualize audience engagement.
