Try talent, kindness, and respect.

Hello, Reader, 👋

This article will discuss the importance of treating everyone with genuine respect!
​
I had the opportunity to edit a video for a well-known celebrity many years ago.
​
This person is portrayed on camera as extraordinary, smiling, kind, and lovely.
​
However, behind the scenes, their behavior took a turn for the worse.
​
As soon as the director called " cut, " this person became mean and rude to the crew and the people around them.
​
It became clear that this person struggled to maintain positive relationships with talented individuals.
​
In the entertainment industry, word spreads quickly, whether about someone's good or bad behavior.
​
My advice is simple: strive to be a good person both on camera and off.
​
The impact of this celebrity's behavior was significant, not only on the people directly involved on set but even on me weeks after the filming concluded.
​
Upon witnessing this transformation, I felt that the initial excitement and inspiration were quickly replaced by demotivation.
​
While it is possible to fake kindness while on set, such a facade will eventually wear thin and become tiresome.
​
Instead, make a conscious effort to genuinely work on being a kind and respectful individual.
​
Like any ambition in life, aiming for success requires effort.
​
This may involve altering how we interact with others and ensuring respect is at the forefront of our interactions.
​
A producer friend once shared an insightful observation with me: the individuals who have longevity in this industry consistently display kindness toward others.
​
Regardless of one's talent, a lack of genuine kindness will eventually have negative repercussions.
​
So, as you share your talents, remember that being friendly and treating others respectfully is of the utmost importance.
​
Embrace a positive attitude and let it shine through your interactions.
​
Doing so will enhance your chances of success and contribute to a more positive and harmonious environment for everyone involved.
​
Good luck! 🙂

Hello, Reader, 👋 Regarding editing, especially for luxury brands, less is always more. The focus should be on the product and the message.

Hello, Reader, 👋 A while back, I had an experience with a client that taught me a valuable lesson about communication. The project started smoothly, I was confident in my work and according to the contract, I had fulfilled my promise. However, there was a catch: the raw footage provided by the client was of poor quality. I noticed it but assumed the client knew and I did not mention it. After completing the project, the client was not thrilled with the final result. They felt I should have...

Hello, Reader, 👋 Hello everyone! 🙂👋⁣ For a while now, I have been trying to create a solution for captions that I can fully style for Final Cut Pro. I have tested multiple tools, including some I discovered on GitHub. However, during a recent project, I needed something quick. So, I downloaded "Caption Generator for Final Cut Pro" from the App Store. Mainly because it was free and seemed to have enough of what I needed. After testing it and being happy with the results, I opened the included...
