In 2018 I put together a PechaKucha talk at NET-A-PORTER. I wanted to share my interest for music with the team and a journey down YouTube had led me to some pretty interesting stuff about this drum machine.

For a while I’d wanted to make a video version of the talk, below is a very rough first edit of that I’ve put together.

My editing skills need to come a long way to meet what I imagine this could be in my mind. I guess part of the creative process is learning to let go of the imagined quality level and putting your idea out, standing back and taking a breath.

Checklist for future edits

• Add intro and ending, explain what a PechaKucha is
• Link in all references and further reading
• Create my own sound bed for voice over sections
• Try swapping sound bed for music samples at lower volumes
• Edit script to fit a regular pace for each slide
• Move project from Screenflow to Adobe Premiere
• Improve visual transitions and timeline
• Research how to use samples in work for full referencing
