I agree, let’s start exploring and mapping out all the caves and sewage systems with drones.

Sure-fire way to hit your 10,000 steps: Go to Bunnings with a 5-item list in your lunch break.

"What is present in our lives doesn’t erase the pain of what is absent. Dipping from the waters of grief doesn’t mean that we’ve done something wrong or not grieved well enough. Our lives are not an etch-a-sketch. If you’re not familiar with it, watch-a-sketch is a toy from pre-electronic days. It looks like a TV screen. By twisting the knobs at the bottom you control a stylus that “etches” a picture onto the screen. Starting over is as easy as shaking it. Everything on the screen disappears. Our lives are not an etch-a-sketch. We don’t shake them after loss to clear things for a new picture. " https://lnkd.in/emK3c-76

Calm and collected on the surface, absolute chaos underneath. 🌊🦆 Ever been there? Me too—recently tasked with editing the behind-the-scenes content for a TVC. Now, I'm no editor, and Premiere Pro isn’t my go-to tool, so the imposter syndrome was real. Especially with such talented editors at STORM+SHELTER 🎬🎥 The brief? Create multiple deliverables: long-form for YouTube and LinkedIn, and short-form for TikTok and Instagram. I had no clue what was on the BTS hard drive... gold? Or something I’d have to roll in glitter? 👀💩✨ I approached it by making selects and breaking them into categories: Setup, Direction, Action, B-roll, Fun, and Talking. I don’t know if that was the “right” way, but it worked for me. As I went along, I mentally flagged moments that stood out, piecing them together into little narratives. 🎞️ I then split the selects by each advert—Jamjar, Gardener, and Camping. This helped me create chapters within the main edit, giving it more structure. Things seemed to be clicking. I even found myself giggling at some of the stories I’d put together and thought, if it’s funny to me, it’ll be funny to someone else, so I went with my gut.🫃 For the social edits, I wanted them to stand out—unique pieces, not just cut-downs of the long-form version. I saved some of the more interesting sound bites, focusing on different elements of the production in each, to make sure they grabbed attention and offered something fresh. Once everything was done and exported, I watched them all back and thought... Have I messed this up? I’d been rewatching The Office (US) and suddenly felt like I’d made a mockumentary. But hey, go with your gut, it's funny... right?? Please be funny... 😬😥 Turns out, The Office was the perfect inspiration! I got great constructive feedback and some super positive praise from people I admire at STORM+SHELTER, as well as a big thumbs up from the directors, agency, and client. PHEW. Looking back, I’m really proud of the result! I’ve never thought about editing as a creative form before—shaping moments, tweaking gaps and pauses to evoke a feeling. Annoyingly, its another thing I'll add to the list of things I'll always be on the watch out for! 👀🍿 So, try something outside your usual wheelhouse—you might enjoy it! If you’ve got any tips for making selects or approaching an edit, I’d love to hear them. 🎥💡 Special shout out to Alex Bull for the lovely BTS footage!! You made my job a whole lot easier! 🙌
