14 00:01:00.580 ⇒ 00:01:04.540 Raymund Verzosa: My main background is in… Video editing.
15 00:01:04.670 ⇒ 00:01:08.079 Raymund Verzosa: that’s where I’ve spent most of my time professionally, but…
16 00:01:08.180 ⇒ 00:01:13.950 Raymund Verzosa: I’ve also handled some graphic works and some social media handling.
17 00:01:14.500 ⇒ 00:01:18.070 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah. Yeah, it’s about it.
18 00:01:18.070 ⇒ 00:01:22.909 Luke Scorziell: Nice. Yeah, well, I mean, I’ve liked the videos that you’ve done for,
19 00:01:24.360 ⇒ 00:01:32.090 Luke Scorziell: like, the video yesterday was great, for Robert’s hiring post, and then, like, yeah, so you’re able to do some pretty cool…
20 00:01:35.450 ⇒ 00:01:43.419 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, video stuff. I guess I’d be curious, too, and I… so I guess I’ll… I’ll introduce myself as well. I’ve been leading, like, the go-to-market team, and…
21 00:01:43.880 ⇒ 00:01:46.260 Luke Scorziell: I don’t know how much context Ryan’s given you.
22 00:01:46.420 ⇒ 00:01:52.110 Luke Scorziell: But, yeah, it’s a little bit of craziness, constantly, like…
23 00:01:52.110 ⇒ 00:01:52.610 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah.
24 00:01:52.610 ⇒ 00:01:57.720 Luke Scorziell: Changing and adjusting and whatnot, but, yeah, I guess, like, I’m…
25 00:01:57.860 ⇒ 00:02:03.559 Luke Scorziell: I like the videos that you’re doing, and kind of want to do, like, more demo-type videos,
26 00:02:04.050 ⇒ 00:02:09.129 Luke Scorziell: maybe between you and Ryan, specifically for some of our partners, and so…
27 00:02:09.330 ⇒ 00:02:14.580 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, I was just curious to connect, and then wanted to make sure that you knew that you could, you know.
28 00:02:14.860 ⇒ 00:02:20.040 Luke Scorziell: Talk to me, too, about ideas and whatnot, and
29 00:02:20.160 ⇒ 00:02:23.029 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, happy to be a resource.
30 00:02:23.210 ⇒ 00:02:26.610 Luke Scorziell: To you, so… I don’t know where I can.
31 00:02:28.080 ⇒ 00:02:34.990 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, so Ryan… said I’ll be helping him around with contents and stuff.
32 00:02:36.210 ⇒ 00:02:41.989 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, I guess, what is your… like, have you mainly just done video editing for Brainforge? I know you kind of mentioned
33 00:02:42.200 ⇒ 00:02:44.999 Luke Scorziell: You’ve done social stuff, too? Like, is that, like…
34 00:02:45.590 ⇒ 00:02:49.020 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, I got hired as a, you know.
35 00:02:49.200 ⇒ 00:02:54.529 Raymund Verzosa: just video editor here, but… yeah, I’m open to do some other works.
36 00:02:55.590 ⇒ 00:02:59.440 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, what do you… do you like doing the video editing? Is that, like, your favorite thing to do?
37 00:02:59.790 ⇒ 00:03:05.079 Raymund Verzosa: Oh yeah, it’s been my… it’s where I’ve been more successful in.
38 00:03:06.430 ⇒ 00:03:10.589 Luke Scorziell: Yeah. Do you have other… I know Utah mentioned you had a portfolio.
39 00:03:10.820 ⇒ 00:03:14.789 Luke Scorziell: To me, at some point. I don’t… I don’t know if you could either share that, or maybe send it.
40 00:03:14.790 ⇒ 00:03:19.840 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah. It’s kind of outdated, but yeah, I’ll send you.
41 00:03:20.490 ⇒ 00:03:21.360 Luke Scorziell: Okay.
42 00:03:22.940 ⇒ 00:03:28.869 Raymund Verzosa: I haven’t been… actively looking, so I haven’t updated it yet, but yeah.
43 00:03:29.810 ⇒ 00:03:31.200 Luke Scorziell: Or.
44 00:03:31.430 ⇒ 00:03:32.410 Raymund Verzosa: Here.
45 00:03:32.670 ⇒ 00:03:34.189 Raymund Verzosa: I’ll send it in the chat.
46 00:03:35.890 ⇒ 00:03:36.440 Luke Scorziell: Sweet.
47 00:03:38.760 ⇒ 00:03:45.990 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, and I mean, are there videos that you’re… like, are the demos kind of the main content that you like to do, or are there other…
48 00:03:46.830 ⇒ 00:03:52.609 Raymund Verzosa: I… do all-around, whatever. I try to, like.
49 00:03:53.190 ⇒ 00:03:58.789 Raymund Verzosa: Adjust to whatever the client is needing.
50 00:03:58.910 ⇒ 00:04:04.949 Raymund Verzosa: Something like that, but… I can pretty much do everything, to be honest, but…
51 00:04:05.660 ⇒ 00:04:11.450 Raymund Verzosa: More on video editing, and… Less on the…
52 00:04:11.750 ⇒ 00:04:16.460 Raymund Verzosa: motion, animation-type stuff, but yeah, I can do basics on those.
53 00:04:17.120 ⇒ 00:04:24.179 Luke Scorziell: So was the, like, motion animation that you did for the post yesterday a little bit of a stretch, or was that pretty in your wheelhouse?
54 00:04:24.180 ⇒ 00:04:28.280 Raymund Verzosa: I have, like… I…
55 00:04:28.650 ⇒ 00:04:40.099 Raymund Verzosa: I’ve been editing for, like, years now, so, like, I have some collection of my presets that I’ve already made, so I just apply them to the… yeah.
56 00:04:40.750 ⇒ 00:04:41.410 Luke Scorziell: Nice.
57 00:04:41.520 ⇒ 00:04:49.030 Luke Scorziell: Cool, okay, yeah, I’m looking at a couple other things.
58 00:04:49.420 ⇒ 00:04:57.210 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, I don’t have, like, a huge agenda other than just getting to know you and kind of learning some of your goals, and then…
59 00:04:58.100 ⇒ 00:05:01.050 Luke Scorziell: giving me some ideas of how I can,
60 00:05:02.550 ⇒ 00:05:05.960 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, how we can start to… to leverage.
61 00:05:08.200 ⇒ 00:05:15.140 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, I can help a lot on, you know, showing… I mean…
62 00:05:15.330 ⇒ 00:05:23.429 Raymund Verzosa: what do you call this? Like, on the demo side, since… You know, on… What do you call it?
63 00:05:24.080 ⇒ 00:05:27.129 Raymund Verzosa: Wait, what’s that term?
64 00:05:27.390 ⇒ 00:05:37.260 Raymund Verzosa: I… I can help structure demo videos, so they’re more clearer and stuff like that, so… and… And
65 00:05:37.540 ⇒ 00:05:43.140 Raymund Verzosa: A lot of… I mean, for… For…
66 00:05:43.330 ⇒ 00:05:55.320 Raymund Verzosa: for clients’ stuff, I think it’s okay if it’s just the basic edits, but if you want to be more catchy and stuff, I can also, like, do some retention editing, where it’s…
67 00:05:55.470 ⇒ 00:06:01.950 Raymund Verzosa: very… very… A lot, a lot of moving stuff under the…
68 00:06:02.110 ⇒ 00:06:07.170 Raymund Verzosa: On the screen, so people can get hooked into what they’re watching.
69 00:06:07.300 ⇒ 00:06:07.890 Raymund Verzosa: Does that…
70 00:06:07.890 ⇒ 00:06:12.569 Luke Scorziell: More of, like, where you had the kind of video that was tracing very closely to, like, the mouse.
71 00:06:12.970 ⇒ 00:06:15.959 Luke Scorziell: Or, like, maybe you could show an example of what that would look like?
72 00:06:16.850 ⇒ 00:06:22.259 Raymund Verzosa: Those are, like, those are some, like, the shorts that I did.
73 00:06:22.380 ⇒ 00:06:24.160 Raymund Verzosa: The vertical ones?
74 00:06:24.620 ⇒ 00:06:25.330 Luke Scorziell: Huh.
75 00:06:25.550 ⇒ 00:06:28.999 Raymund Verzosa: Those are, like, more on the retention editing, where
76 00:06:29.390 ⇒ 00:06:34.949 Raymund Verzosa: You put a lot of stuff on the screen so people won’t click away when they see it. Stuff like that.
77 00:06:35.230 ⇒ 00:06:35.920 Luke Scorziell: Yeah.
78 00:06:36.660 ⇒ 00:06:37.040 Luke Scorziell: Oh.
79 00:06:40.030 ⇒ 00:06:41.020 Luke Scorziell: Okay, cool.
80 00:06:41.790 ⇒ 00:06:43.950 Luke Scorziell: Well, yeah, I’ll look through,
81 00:06:44.950 ⇒ 00:06:54.899 Luke Scorziell: And… maybe, like, how do you typically work? Is there a good, like, workflow process as you’re, like, getting briefs for videos, or…
82 00:06:55.120 ⇒ 00:06:58.110 Luke Scorziell: Like, yeah, what’s… But, meh.
83 00:06:58.110 ⇒ 00:06:59.090 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, Brian.
84 00:06:59.090 ⇒ 00:07:00.659 Luke Scorziell: Have a system figured out, but…
85 00:07:01.810 ⇒ 00:07:10.520 Raymund Verzosa: Ryan usually just give me the video and a bit of instruction, and I just do it, pretty much, yeah.
86 00:07:12.080 ⇒ 00:07:13.380 Luke Scorziell: Well,
87 00:07:13.640 ⇒ 00:07:19.469 Luke Scorziell: Do you get with other clients, have you found ways that are, like, really effective or helpful, or what’s the…
88 00:07:19.470 ⇒ 00:07:20.420 Raymund Verzosa: Mmm…
89 00:07:20.620 ⇒ 00:07:32.019 Raymund Verzosa: I think they’re mostly… everyone’s mostly the same, they just give me the video, a bit of instruction, and if I don’t get it, I just ask, stuff like that, but yeah.
90 00:07:32.190 ⇒ 00:07:36.869 Raymund Verzosa: They usually just give it to me, and I’ll handle the editing.
91 00:07:37.830 ⇒ 00:07:38.480 Luke Scorziell: Whoa.
92 00:07:38.970 ⇒ 00:07:43.440 Luke Scorziell: Sweet. Well, yeah, why don’t I… I’ll look through some of your stuff, and then,
93 00:07:43.910 ⇒ 00:07:48.199 Luke Scorziell: Oh, I don’t foresee, like, any huge changes in, like,
94 00:07:48.500 ⇒ 00:07:55.040 Luke Scorziell: need… I mean, I can be a little more involved in helping Ryan plan the videos, helping you and Ryan play on the videos, but .
95 00:07:55.810 ⇒ 00:07:56.210 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah.
96 00:07:56.210 ⇒ 00:08:00.120 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, I think just good to meet you, and know that you’re a resource on the team, so…
97 00:08:00.120 ⇒ 00:08:05.099 Raymund Verzosa: It’s… yeah, it’s kind of outdated, but the graphics ones are…
98 00:08:05.570 ⇒ 00:08:11.000 Raymund Verzosa: up-to-date, because I applied recently for a graphic position, but… yeah.
99 00:08:11.840 ⇒ 00:08:18.249 Raymund Verzosa: Those… that one is… the video one, I haven’t… I haven’t updated it in a while.
100 00:08:20.000 ⇒ 00:08:23.739 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, well, I mean, if you want to send some of your more, like, recent,
101 00:08:24.530 ⇒ 00:08:30.010 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, sure. I’m working on my… Showreel, but…
102 00:08:30.640 ⇒ 00:08:32.990 Raymund Verzosa: I haven’t finished it yet, because, yeah.
103 00:08:33.530 ⇒ 00:08:34.910 Raymund Verzosa: It’s been busy.
104 00:08:35.120 ⇒ 00:08:39.920 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, not a huge party. But, I mean, yeah, you’re in just, like, one or two videos, so…
105 00:08:42.070 ⇒ 00:08:48.570 Luke Scorziell: Okay, cool. Well, yeah, I’ll watch the videos that you have on here, and it looks like you have a couple Brainforge ones, too.
106 00:08:48.860 ⇒ 00:08:51.339 Luke Scorziell: Yeah. And then we can,
107 00:08:53.620 ⇒ 00:08:59.580 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, reconnect. So… well, I guess you have any questions for me, or anything that you’re curious about?
108 00:09:00.150 ⇒ 00:09:06.429 Raymund Verzosa: So… this is, like, a part-time position, right? Ryan told me?
109 00:09:07.520 ⇒ 00:09:11.940 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, well, so I guess you’re already kind of contracted with Brainforge, or what’s…
110 00:09:12.270 ⇒ 00:09:16.299 Luke Scorziell: Like, have you gone… have you… are you on, like, payroll? And kind of…
111 00:09:17.490 ⇒ 00:09:18.210 Luke Scorziell: Paid?
112 00:09:19.210 ⇒ 00:09:25.900 Raymund Verzosa: I mean, I… my contract before was, like, 20 hours per week? Yeah.
113 00:09:26.750 ⇒ 00:09:27.890 Raymund Verzosa: Part-time.
114 00:09:29.120 ⇒ 00:09:33.800 Raymund Verzosa: And I just work when there’s… we’re needed.
115 00:09:34.590 ⇒ 00:09:36.619 Raymund Verzosa: Dave Stuff contract, yeah.
116 00:09:36.970 ⇒ 00:09:40.129 Luke Scorziell: So you just get paid for the work that you did over that week? Yep.
117 00:09:40.890 ⇒ 00:09:41.720 Luke Scorziell: Okay.
118 00:09:42.030 ⇒ 00:09:44.279 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, I think that’s fine for now.
119 00:09:44.770 ⇒ 00:09:48.369 Luke Scorziell: Just to keep doing that, do you need a new contract?
120 00:09:49.030 ⇒ 00:09:51.550 Raymund Verzosa: I’m… I think I’m okay with it.
121 00:09:51.960 ⇒ 00:09:57.109 Raymund Verzosa: Because, I’m… Since, there’s…
122 00:09:57.220 ⇒ 00:10:00.390 Raymund Verzosa: Not much editing needed at the moment.
123 00:10:01.020 ⇒ 00:10:03.769 Raymund Verzosa: I think, yeah, that’s okay for now.
124 00:10:04.680 ⇒ 00:10:11.450 Luke Scorziell: Okay, but do you… are you… I mean, I can check with our operations team, too, just to make sure, but, like, everything’s up to date with…
125 00:10:12.340 ⇒ 00:10:15.169 Luke Scorziell: The contract? Like, you have a current contract that we’re working with?
126 00:10:15.860 ⇒ 00:10:19.510 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, I signed the contract before.
127 00:10:21.830 ⇒ 00:10:22.640 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah.
128 00:10:23.600 ⇒ 00:10:24.240 Luke Scorziell: Okay.
129 00:10:27.320 ⇒ 00:10:33.180 Luke Scorziell: Cool. Yeah, I guess that’s helpful for me to know, because, yeah, I’ve been a little bit…
130 00:10:33.330 ⇒ 00:10:35.850 Luke Scorziell: Confused her in the gray area of how…
131 00:10:36.200 ⇒ 00:10:38.530 Luke Scorziell: If you’re, like, on the team, not on the team yet.
132 00:10:38.530 ⇒ 00:10:46.860 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, basically… I think when they restructured in October?
133 00:10:47.070 ⇒ 00:10:54.020 Raymund Verzosa: I was, like, out of commission, because they… They… slashed content, so…
134 00:10:54.310 ⇒ 00:11:00.279 Raymund Verzosa: I was basically out, but they never, like, they never cut me out or anything, so…
135 00:11:00.890 ⇒ 00:11:06.539 Raymund Verzosa: And, yeah, so Ryan contacted me recently again, and He told me there’s…
136 00:11:07.120 ⇒ 00:11:13.360 Raymund Verzosa: They’re… they’re… you guys are doing content again, and they need help in video editing, so yeah.
137 00:11:13.750 ⇒ 00:11:15.210 Raymund Verzosa: I’m back, I guess.
138 00:11:15.960 ⇒ 00:11:20.159 Luke Scorziell: Okay, yeah, that’s helpful. So, how long were you working on content prior to that?
139 00:11:21.640 ⇒ 00:11:28.060 Raymund Verzosa: I think a… I joined in… I joined last May.
140 00:11:28.450 ⇒ 00:11:29.569 Raymund Verzosa: Last year?
141 00:11:29.750 ⇒ 00:11:30.390 Luke Scorziell: Okay.
142 00:11:31.230 ⇒ 00:11:31.840 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah.
143 00:11:32.540 ⇒ 00:11:38.300 Luke Scorziell: Cool. And what was the decision on the content stuff? Like, do you have any context on that, of why?
144 00:11:40.720 ⇒ 00:11:42.110 Luke Scorziell: Why I got shut off.
145 00:11:42.910 ⇒ 00:11:47.950 Raymund Verzosa: I think… There was no direction, actually.
146 00:11:48.340 ⇒ 00:11:54.410 Raymund Verzosa: We were just pumping out contents, and there was no… direction, what…
147 00:11:55.000 ⇒ 00:11:59.770 Raymund Verzosa: And I think you coming in, like,
148 00:12:00.210 ⇒ 00:12:06.580 Raymund Verzosa: You coming in reactivated content again? Since you’re the… since you’re the lead?
149 00:12:06.980 ⇒ 00:12:09.140 Raymund Verzosa: The marketing stuff.
150 00:12:09.950 ⇒ 00:12:10.650 Luke Scorziell: Yeah.
151 00:12:11.210 ⇒ 00:12:16.989 Luke Scorziell: Cool, okay, yeah, it’s helpful for me to know. I think a lot of the content that we’re wanting to do is more,
152 00:12:18.850 ⇒ 00:12:21.920 Luke Scorziell: partnership-focused, so I can start thinking about…
153 00:12:23.910 ⇒ 00:12:32.470 Luke Scorziell: thinking about that, too. But yeah, well, why don’t… I mean, I don’t have, like, an abundance of stuff for you to edit right now, or anything like that.
154 00:12:32.470 ⇒ 00:12:32.950 Raymund Verzosa: Nuh.
155 00:12:32.950 ⇒ 00:12:33.399 Luke Scorziell: But…
156 00:12:33.400 ⇒ 00:12:34.060 Raymund Verzosa: Okay.
157 00:12:34.060 ⇒ 00:12:35.840 Luke Scorziell: I’ll keep you in mind as we…
158 00:12:36.010 ⇒ 00:12:40.929 Luke Scorziell: keep moving, and then Owen Ryan has a cool video posts that he wants to do, and then…
159 00:12:40.930 ⇒ 00:12:46.719 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, and Ryan told me I’ll assist him, maybe in content.
160 00:12:47.030 ⇒ 00:12:48.710 Raymund Verzosa: Posting, stuff like that.
161 00:12:49.670 ⇒ 00:12:52.880 Raymund Verzosa: And LinkedIn interaction thingy.
162 00:12:53.390 ⇒ 00:12:59.130 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, I think maybe I would hold on that right now. Ryan’s supposed to send me, like, a kind of…
163 00:12:59.410 ⇒ 00:13:06.660 Luke Scorziell: proposal, I guess, for what that would look like, or if you want to send me a proposal, then that’d be helpful. But.
164 00:13:06.860 ⇒ 00:13:07.250 Raymund Verzosa: Okay.
165 00:13:07.250 ⇒ 00:13:08.399 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, just so I can kind of know.
166 00:13:08.400 ⇒ 00:13:09.110 Raymund Verzosa: I love it.
167 00:13:09.110 ⇒ 00:13:09.570 Luke Scorziell: Accordingly.
168 00:13:09.600 ⇒ 00:13:11.430 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, I’ll let him know.
169 00:13:11.840 ⇒ 00:13:15.710 Luke Scorziell: So… Cool. Well, good to meet you.
170 00:13:16.010 ⇒ 00:13:17.930 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, nice to meet you too, man.
171 00:13:17.930 ⇒ 00:13:20.219 Luke Scorziell: Yeah, and I’m looking forward to working together, too.
172 00:13:20.800 ⇒ 00:13:22.659 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, me too. Thanks, man.
173 00:13:22.910 ⇒ 00:13:24.789 Luke Scorziell: Yep. Alright, talk to you soon.
174 00:13:24.790 ⇒ 00:13:26.449 Raymund Verzosa: Alright, talk to you. Bye.
