Josh Smith (Blackbox Media)

I have been editing video and designing thumbnails for YouTube for 12 years, but doing so professionally for the past 3 years through my media company 'Blackbox Media'. I have had a passion for everything YouTube from a young age which has led to studying thumbnail design and video retention conventions for both long & short form content. I have worked mostly through referrals up until this point, which has meant most of my editing work has been within the same niche (fitness). Having a personal interest in this area means that I am very confident editing within this niche, but I am also open to branching out into other areas to challenge myself with a new style. I have only linked some of my work in the portfolio section of this profile, as my full portfolio includes 200+ long form videos, 170+ short form videos, and 300+ thumbnails. Hopefully what I have linked here is enough to get an idea of me and what I can do.
