I have a couple projects that I’ve been assigned that I haven’t started on yet. Mostly because I don’t have the materials I need yet. One of my bosses who does marketing stuff for Lexicon, has asked me to make some video clips of the Lexicon Reverb Plug-in bundle. It’s basically a third party extension that is added to a DAW which has digital versions of Lexicon reverb effects.

He originally gave me a Nikon camera and wanted me to to take some video of the screen while I was changing some parameters in the plug in, which would be used to show people what the plug in looks like, and a brief overview of the different sounds you can achieve. I then had the idea to get a screen capture program, and turn it into a full tutorial that could be posted to YouTube. A lot of people do these kinds of things, where they capture their screen in a video as they’re explaining how to do something in a DAW. I’m currently working with the plug-ins as much as possible so I know what I’m talking about when I go about these videos. I’m excited but also a little nervous, as my voice will be on YouTube on behalf of Lexicon explaining how to use their products.

There’s a few other ideas as to what I can do for the marketing team that haven’t been too explored yet. There’s so many things that they need help with that I’m just picking up whatever they throw at me. Which is fine with me, and often I get it done in much less time than they expected. I’m so used to working in a high stress environment that I keep asking them to throw more stuff at me, and I’m getting it done faster than they can give me tasks. I guess that’s a good thing, as they have all seemed impressed with my work so far.
