December 2023
We’re kicking off this annual brief with the news about the updated LightRockEdit.com website! If you’re reading this on the site right now – well, you’ve already taken a step in the right direction! 🙂 A big thanks to web designer Jayel Draco for his hard work.
Now, onto the project highlights! Upon wrapping post-production on Season 10 of Lidia’s Kitchen in the fall of 2022, I returned to promo edits for Nickelodeon’s Thursday Night Movies and Nick@Nite’s Sunday Night Movies.
By early spring, I jumped at the chance to create a Kickstarter campaign video for my better half’s graphic novel Cristabel. The 72-page first volume adapts Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s unfinished poem Christabel from the late 1800s, and it fleshes out the story even further with tales of knights and sorcery. As much as my wife enjoys writing superhero stories, this passion project really meant a lot to her. Happily, the KS campaign was a success!
In late spring, I partnered with brand-new client, CBIZ, to edit a series of social media videos for various regions and departments within Financial Services and Benefits & Insurance Services. After hearing from so many different, long-time employees in these videos, I have to say that CBIZ is definitely a place to consider if you want to get into the field.
Then in summer, I returned to editing Lidia’s Kitchen, now in its 11th season. Lidia explores a bunch of great meals and memories that are sure to please. So check your local PBS listings, because new episodes are still airing as of December 2023.
Lastly, the fall brought me back to editing First-Time Buyer for the National Association of REALTORS® to stream on Hulu. In it’s fourth season, the series showcases determined buyers navigating the journey to homeownership by following the lead of an agent who’s a REALTOR®.
As the new year approaches, LightRock’s rates are staying the same at $650/8hr day. With many long years of experience in remote post-production, you can rest assured that your projects are in safe hands with me!
Until next time!
