I do video coverage for events and tradeshows, typically to showcase new products (news gathering) with their representatives narrating, such as at:
- Consumer electronics shows (Pepcom)
- Toy Fair (The Toy Association)
- Sweet Suite (Toy Insider)
Here’s an example video of a newly released product:
Apart from work for outside clients, I run a website called firstl00k.com where I connect my 2 Youtube channels together – First L00k and FL (First L00k) Toys for tech and toy products respectively.
Web: FirstL00k.com

FYI for people new to video, filming is a very small part of the process – most of the work occurs behind the scenes, most typically requiring:
- Storyboarding/synopses/arrangement (for editing)
- Color correction
- Effects (like transitions)
- Titles
- Audio (examples: levels, noise reduction, music, VO, ADR, etc)
- Graphics production
- Considerations for copyrights and licensing
It’s good to keep in mind the additional work that’s always needed for distribution channels and promotion/marketing (should you use them, like social media and websites) such as:
- Writing text and titles (different lengths for each platform)
- Hashtags and user name integration (different for every platform)
- Meta data
- The research required for all of the above points
- Website work (new pages, graphics, post dates, links, administration, etc)
So on and so forth. There lots to do!
