HETV & Film
In 2022, under the name The Avid Assistant, I started releasing tutorial and training videos on Editorial workflows and Assistant Editing. Areas that are very rarely taught in film school and can be difficult to find resources on. I know from when I was first coming up!
This has led me to many wonderful opportunities and connections such as running my own course on the topic with the National Film and Television School and at the Gorilla Academy. Not to mention guest speaking on international Podcasts and other large Film/TV Events.

This is where it all started! I uploaded one tutorial video I made, initially just to help one colleague and then it was forwarded on to several others who found it very helpful. So I made a couple more to help help explain some of the most commonly confusing parts of learning Assistant Editing and then those were received even better!
Before long this became an ever-growing collection of tutorials, opinion pieces and discussion videos on everything Avid and post production. There's everything here from videos on new Avid features and updates, workflow tips and how tos, all the way through to a full course on Assistant Editing!

Patreon
After a while it kept becoming a suggestion for me to create a Patreon page. I was hesitant at first as I didn't think I was there yet. Didn't think the quality was up to snuff for people to pay money for it. It's a big step!!
Eventually though I took the plunge and dedicated the Patreon page to more subjective content. Revealing Behind the scenes content, early access, my own personal workflows in the form of my "How I Would Do It" series and even downloadable assets you can use in your Avid work!!
