Much of my time with Unreasonable was spent editing live entrepreneur interviews and talks that ranged from 10-40 minutes. I got really familiar with editing multi-cam sequences, and with correcting color and sound of unscripted events. These videos were posted to the Unreasonable YouTube channel.
Elevator Pitches
I also created elevator pitches explaining some of the Unreasonable companies, and the technology and ideas they develop. These videos were posted to the Unreasonable YouTube channel.
Most important skills learned throughout the internship:
Quickly editing multi-cam sequences
Sifting through hours of footage to create short, concise videos
Explaining complex businesses and scientific ideas in digestible ways
Using stock footage and sound to effectively communicate complex ideas
Correcting color and sound efficiently
Scheduling and posting videos to YouTube and Instagram
