Short-Form Videos: Pop Culture

While working at The Daily Beast, I created short-form videos for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Most of these videos were 60 to 90 second clips from podcast episodes. The Daily Beast had a comedy interview podcast The Last Laugh, which transitioned into a broader pop culture/celebrity interview podcast Obsessed: The Podcast. I would choose moments from these episodes that had exciting stories or moments that revealed intriguing behind the scenes details. I would edit them down to fit the allotted time frame, add photos to give context for the conversations, and edit captions to match what the hosts and guests were saying. I also wrote a title, and description for each short video. Across multiple social platforms, each of these short videos often received a combined total of over 100k views.
