I’ve never done anything with food content before. My partner, Aya, is an aspiring chef and several weeks or a few months ago, she asked if I could edit a cooking video for her, and of course, I’d gladly do that.
I don’t consume a lot of food content, but enough that I’ve watched alongside Aya. I was excited about editing this project because it felt different from the videos I usually make. I’m so accustomed to making montages and editing around the song I choose. Searching for clips I’ve curated over the year or events I attended. It was kind of nice already having the media shot, and I just had to bring it together.
But I can see where editing can get mundane and could be more varied for artists. Family/friends in this industry have shared with me how editing is their least favorite part of the job as it takes the most time or effort versus shooting and directing. Although it’s far from their caliber of work, I enjoy editing and creatively using my brain to make videos.
I hope to help Aya shoot and produce more cooking content in the future. Things that bring her joy and allow her to share her craft with the world. It was honestly really fun to edit, and I hope you enjoy it! Follow my partner, Aya, at @ayagabmor and check out her Twitch: @ayapapayaaa to follow along as she plays Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom!
