Non-Union

I graduated from Fanshawe’s Advanced Filmmaking Program in 2018. I always had a love for the Behind the Scenes videos that were often included with DVDs and Blu-Rays. I believe I sometimes only bought them for those extras. I started doing video editing work by just compiling wedding photos together using Windows Movie Maker. I quickly moved on to Adobe Premiere where I then taught myself the basics of the program. While in AFM, I also experimented with AVID and Final Cut Pro X but took what I learned in those and applied them to Premiere. As of 2023, I’m going on a little over a decade of experience with Premiere and likely longer with editing overall. I am constantly looking for ways to improve techniques I use and styles. I’m lucky enough to be able to experiment with new styles/techniques via my Youtube Channel – Silversmith Productions. Most if not all bands love when I’m able to experiment like this. While that channel is more music related, I have another channel where I branch out with other topics and themes.
