My name is Griffin Beels! I work a 9-5 at TikTok as a Machine Learning Engineer for the TikTok Algorithm, but in my free time, I make videos & stream! I mostly make content around speedrunning (namely SM64), whether that's skits, fun VFX edits, highlights from runs, or stories about cool stuff I learned or accomplished. Here's one of the videos I had the most fun making recently: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/v77a8NWLjyM To answer the original intro questions: 1) I'm located in Los Angeles (just moved to LA two months ago! I lived in San Francisco for 2 years prior). 2) Content: https://linktr.ee/griffinbeels, mostly focused on https://www.youtube.com/@griffinbeels / https://twitch.tv/griffinbeels right now! 3) My #1 fear is being wrong D: Even if I'm ordering something on Uber Eats, I think *super* hard about the "right" answer for what to eat; similarly, if I walk down a street full of restaurants, I'll walk it a few times before deciding LOL. This has been one of the biggest things I've been working on this year -- using failure to learn and teach rather than letting it paralyze :D Nice to meet you all and happy to be here!

ADE (Alliance of Documentary Editors) published this great PDF outlining their philosophy around editing schedules for documentaries. I'm assuming most of us here don't produce multi-hour documentaries, but it's still a *really* interesting read about editing philosophy. "There’s a lot about editing documentaries that is like life lessons. You have to try stuff that doesn’t work in order to figure out what does work. I have a lot of embarrassing sequences I would never want anybody to see. They ended up being dumb ideas, but they’re all a part of getting to a place where you can feel what’s right for the film and what isn’t.” https://allianceofdoceditors.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/ADE_Edit_Schedules_final2.pdf
