Thank you to those who showed up to the portfolio review! I would like you all within the next week to apply the advice given. I've posted a new portfolio guide video in the classroom for all of you to watch! Once you're done, I want you to share your new portfolio links so we have clear before and afters. Can't wait to see your new portfolios!

Who or what are some of y'all's biggest influences as editors? For me, as far as other YouTube editors go, Zade (Cody Ko) and Archie (The Yard, Tommy Innit, Shotgun Willy, etc) are easily the two who inspire me to try and be more creative and ambitious. And I'd say Scott Pilgrim vs. The World got me interested in cool vfx when I was a teenager; typically all of Edgar Wright's movies have really snappy editing styles that resonate with me (Baby Driver is my fav movie of all time) I'm always looking for more inspiration and share some of my own, let's chat!

Since the livestream I have spent some time each day to change up how my portfolio site looks and I think it's turning out nicely! However, I just want to note a few things since it isn't done yet. - I did use a similar design to Jiggys at the top of the site but changing it up and adding my things in. - Some images load straight away and get a weird issue of images "popping in". - Only been working on the website version, but once I have the design done I will optimize for mobile.

How to do a great portfolio ? Like a one easy to watch while scrolling, I want to create one almost like this but I don’t know how https://www.vfxmalice.com/portfolio I want to create one with parts, for each type of videos I worked on. Maybe a Drive with folders is better ? Don’t you think ?

I'm sure a good amount of us have heard of YTJobs. If you haven't, it's a website where YouTubers post to look for Video Editors, Producers, Scriptwriters, Channel Managers, etc. Since I started using it about 6-7 months ago it's honestly been great to show off my work, have trusted reviews from previous content creators and great to share to a client who may not use the site. However, I fear that there are a few flaws with the site which has been rather annoying over the last few months. The moderation. If anyone has ever used the Forum section of the site, you'll know that it's mixed with legit people with interest and people who create fake portfolios and just straight-up spam and ask for a referral on videos they "claim" to have worked on but have no proof. You also have people who have little to no experience on the site. To be honest, this is not a site they should be using. Mainly young people think that just because they can edit with the style of Mr.Beast automatically means they will just get hired in an instant. Hell No. Maybe they should go and use Casting Call Club which while yes the projects over there are a bit more... cringe sometimes. However, it can be a good place to start given you find a project you want to apply for. Also, if you want to edit in the Mr.Beast style, go for it. But I feel that it's very saturated on YouTube at this point. Overall, YTJobs needs to clean up their site and maybe give a damn about moderation for once.
