My 3 Courses on LinkedIn Learning / Lynda.com !

I’m happy that CreatorUp gave me the opportunity to teach 3 courses on LinkedIn Learning / Lynda.com It was great writing, shooting, and editing my courses since most of the content I teach is what I do every day. From consulting clients about video marketing to managing a creative business, I’m able to share my expertise and help others who are looking to learn and grow.

My courses are about The Top Things To Do To Start A Creative Business, The Best KPI’s To Look For With Video Content, and How To Make Money With Branded Content.

Making videos with babies and parents for Grabease

I’d like to think of myself as a versatile filmmaker and videographer. Creating this video for Grabease was a challenge because it was my first time working with babies. They’re tough to work with and don’t follow directions as often as you like, though their cuteness makes up for the temper tantrums and frustrated takes. I enjoyed working with Grabease and making content outside of my usual genres, and learned a lot from the process. I feel that it’s important to explore other industries and communities when using your craft as it creates a challenge that forces you to adapt and gain new skills. These baby products are also very useful and I’m sure that one of these days when I’m a parents, I’ll be using my own.

Video for Scrappys Bitters

I had the pleasure of working with Milli Agency to create a cool video with Jason Yu and Scrappy's Bitters.   I love working with other creative artists in different fields along with progressive brands that believe in the power of social content and video.  It was fun creating this piece with Jason since we had to make his apartment look like a mini-bar while still capturing his personality in his surroundings.  He's a talented mixologist that was very humble despite his big following on Instagram, which made the experience smooth and fun.  

I used the Panasonic GH5s, Beholder Gimbal, and a few lenses to create the video and feel that we were able to create something awesome for the amount of time we had.  Hope you enjoy this piece and please support my friends at Milli Agency, Jason Yu, and Scrappy's Bitters!

"[My favorite drink is] the Old Fashioned. It's so simple, yet strangely elusive to the unknowing and so easily over-convoluted by the untrained. It's a straightforward cocktail that really doesn't give the bartender anything to hide behind, and when it's off, you know it. The Old Fashioned revels in the beauty of simplicity and is revered when it's executed correctly. . When people walk into my bar unless they already know what they want, I like to feel them out before I serve them - personality type, mood, likes, dislikes, flavor preferences, things like that. A lot of the time, I like to take dislikes as a challenge and try to turn it into something the guest would enjoy. It doesn't always work, but so far, my success rate has been pretty good. The presentation of the drink is also based on the what I can gather from the guest's personality, ranging from anything casual and classic to elegant and edgy. It's one of my favorite games with someone new to my bar and helps establish a lasting first impression." - @jasonfyu
