Kevyn Tapia | One Year Later

Kevyn, or Kevo Nobody, began his journey with TFD back in the Summer of 2021! It has now been a full year since we have gotten to know Kevyn. He is a YouTuber and this past year has been full of creating new content. He got to develop his skills and learn new things from his mentorship like how to tell a story creatively. Over the last few months, he has been working at TFD as our Video Content Creator. A year later, Kevyn is now working on a short film that will be coming out soon as well as continuing his growth at TFD! We are so excited to see what else Kevyn will accomplish!

Post-Production Video Editing

Jeremy led another workshop for our mentees on Monday for the post-production of film. Last month our mentees filmed a few Maywood residents to highlight their stories and they are now working on editing the video they took. Jeremy shared advice on different aspects of this process with things like keeping all of your files organized, different editing apps, cutting and pasting parts of video together, and learning where to separate video to have the correct pacing. They all took time to go through piece by piece, checking all camera angles as well as separating the audio from video. A tip Jeremy also shared is to always check your work before delivering to a client. It is important to watch the video from beginning to end to make sure everything was done smoothly and correctly. Our mentees got a great start on their editing and we can’t wait to see the finished product they created!
