Building Creative Freedom: The Career of an Editing Nomad

Imagine sitting on a beautiful beach in front of a laptop. On your head is a pair of noise-cancelling headphones and on the timeline is a high-end commercial you’re cutting.

Sounds too good to be true? Well, it isn’t. The life of the editing nomad has been made possible with advances in technology, communication and collaboration software allowing you access to millions of potential clients worldwide.

There has never been a better time to be an editing artist, and many of us yearn for the independence and freedom to have that rarest of combinations… a creative life and a long list of clients who want to work with us.

We discuss the forces that have made this life possible in this week’s episode and the things we can do to make it happen.

Don’t forget to stay tuned as I’ll be asking the question for this week’s competition! One lucky editor will take home an annual Creative Cloud license courtesy of our good friends over at Adobe!
