Type-F is a Tyra Banks branded beauty and fashion site featuring, among other things, video “tips for camping, sporting events, and more style situations”. Branded their “Survival Guide”, it’s an ongoing series of videos that went live today, and that I was was an editor on.

Unlike other projects I’ve worked on, I had virtually zero creative license with this. I came in to take the rough cuts and assemble them with alpha-channel graphics. I also mixed sound for most of the videos currently featured here, which included some fancy EQ and Altiverb settings to get some audio recorded in a car to match the big-room sound of the set they did most of the work on. It was all mostly a case of “make this look and sound as good as humanly possible with the time we’ve got”.
Not having creative license doesn’t mean it wasn’t a little fun. I really like all the swoops and fast pace of the whole thing. This is definitely the most up-to-date commercial thing I’ve had the pleasure of working on, and I certainly wouldn’t mind doing more.
There will be more of these released over the next few months. If this is your thing, stay current @ typef.com/featured-videos/survival-guide/.
