From 0 to 60 learning videos for a leading web developer.
Julien Truffaut is a leading Scala web developer. In 2020 he asked for my help to create a complete online course teaching Functional Programming.
This was a true lockdown project: lasting 18 months, produced 100% remotely, going from Julien’s first scripts with him knowing nothing about video production, to ending up with over 60 professional quality videos across three learning platforms.
To start, I helped Julien set up his studio so that he could self-shoot all the content for his course. I compiled a list of equipment he needed – camera, lights, autocue, microphone, soundproofing – and a comprehensive series of plans, diagrams and settings to show him how to record high-quality videos that both sounded and looked professionally produced.
I produced all 60+ videos for the course, from Julien’s recordings, creating dynamic edits that reflected his high-quality content. I also added to his course branding so that it worked for moving image – transitions, split-screen, picture-in-picture, animated logo and end screens. The Youtube videos below show how this evolved over time to create the most intuitive learning experience for his subscribers.
Combining my creative direction and post-production experience, I was able to bring some extra magic to Julien’s highly detailed approach and leave him very happy with end result.
It was awesome!
I don’t think I would have managed without James. There is so much to learn, it can be overwhelming, but James has always been here to help me with all the challenges I faced. We found a very efficient workflow and I am really happy about the results.”
