Brand-Adhered Content Creation

Archival project for Seattle Choruses' YouTube channels called 'From the Vault.'I was tasked with taking video of two concerts per week (one for each choir), cutting them into their individual songs, and then throwing a lower-third intro at the start and concert credits at the end, as well as being responsible for creating video thumbnails and uploading to YouTube with proper metadata.End result was 20-40 videos uploaded weekly across two channels, with a total of over 500 videos. Completed videos uploaded and archived according to company specifications.Edited in Davinci Resolve, end credits animated in After Effects, thumbnails designed in Photoshop
