Case studies

How the partner work actually ran, from idea to result.

Universal Pictures

Ten minutes with a film cast

Days after wrapping one of the channel's biggest set builds, the creator had ten minutes with the cast of a major Universal Pictures release: Matthew Lillard, Mckenna Grace, and Josh Hutcherson. Everyone else was shooting standard interviews. We wanted something for the fans.

The idea. I adapted a concept I had already run on the channel, subscribers design a character and an artist draws it, into the moment: turn the three actors into characters drawn in the film's style.

The collaboration. We brought in the artist Itelldraw for the three portraits, revealed to the cast in the meeting's final two minutes.

The execution. I cut the rough pass the same day, then the creator and I built a 30-second storyline with the cast's reactions as the payoff, structured for shorts retention.

The result. Within 10 hours, to our knowledge, the most viewed cast reaction content for the film on YouTube. Now past 19M views.

NASCAR

Exclusive access at the track

For a NASCAR campaign, the channel got exclusive access to a racetrack. We built the sponsored short the same way we built our own content: a curiosity hook about a million-dollar race car, the same pacing as the channel's shorts, and the partner integrated into the video itself.

Warner Brothers · Legendary Entertainment · HBO Max

Three shorts for a film campaign

For the studios' Minecraft film campaign, working with Night Media, we produced three sponsored shorts. I recorded footage, arranged the voiceover, and ran several revision rounds directly with the agency. Footage I recorded was also used in a video published on Minecraft's official TikTok.

What I do

Production

  • Ideation and packaging. Pitched concepts one-on-one with the creator. Most video ideas ran through me or a small core team.
  • Shortform end to end. Scripting, editing, and publishing across YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.
  • On-site production. Filming, multi-cam shoots with 16+ cameras, and structured review rounds.
  • Audience analytics. Retention, swipe-through, and outlier research in YouTube Studio.
  • Premiere Pro
  • After Effects
  • Photoshop
  • Frame.io
  • Notion
  • YouTube Studio

Development

  • BS in Computer Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2019-2022.
  • Premiere automation plugins that speed up repetitive cutting and editing work.
  • A YouTube research app that surfaces outlier videos and compares retention and swipe-through across shorts and longform.
  • Python
  • Java
  • C
  • C++
  • JavaScript
  • React
  • HTML/CSS
  • Dialogflow

About

I started managing YouTube channels in 2021, while I was finishing my computer science degree at UW-Madison. The first channel I ran went from zero to a million subscribers in five months. I spent the next five years turning shortform into a repeatable system for the Socksfor1 network: pitching ideas directly with the creator, writing, editing, filming on-site, and reading analytics to figure out what actually works.

Alongside production, I built internal tools for the team: Premiere plugins that automate repetitive editing tasks, and a research app for comparing retention and swipe-through across videos.

I'm based in Charlotte, NC.
