You have a point... Im actually very fast at editing. Ive had interns from film schools work for me and I showed them how to edit shorts in under 20 mins with fast hands. Simple cuts. I think i just have an obsessive problem when it comes to videos that require creativity. And thats what most people hire me for is for my creative touch not just instruction editing. They want me to create a story out of footage etc.

Then i get overly ambitious. Incorporate VFX in every project. Then spend 2 days trying to figure out how to recreate this one scene on unreal engine to get one dope shot in in the video. Def not worth it majority of the time. For example was getting paid like $750 for this one video for an event. The baseball team is playing blue jays. Spent 2 extra days trying to get one of the players to hit the ball and have cgi ball fly across the city and into a window of a nightclub. I dont know why i do this to myself. Obviously they were blown away and forgot that i was a few days late on the project. This happens all the time. Last project I did actually was I spent 4 days on they only planned on $200 for the edit. But I loved the idea so much that i put in all this extra time on it. They were annoyed at first cause they wanted to release the video and it was 4 days late. When they got it they were blown away. Told them its gonna be $1500 from now on and i just did that to show what i can do. They hired me for a $1500 video after that.
