Nicholas Ballard

I have always made personal projects either alone or with friends. There's just a need that I have to make things. I went to college to study Animation & Design more seriously. After graduating, I got a normal job doing Night Stocking at Lowe's. Ever since, I have been working on my own projects such as music and a couple YouTube channels. Now I am searching for my first video editing job, but I am open to doing more roles also since many of them overlap. My experience I believe is vast and encompasses many parts of the production process even though I have only worked in 1 professional setting. That would be the film I worked on in college. Since I graduated, I have picked up skills in Color Grading, Compositing, Branding, and Marketing. I have essentially been trying to start my own channels and production company but most of my time has been spent learning and working on projects until now. For example, the Nick Ivy YouTube channel is my attempt at learning how to brand myself as a musician. There's a lot that goes on in the backend such as linking your channel to your distributed music to make sure it all looks right in YouTube Music. Then, the StubbyToePo channel is just an attempt at a gameplay channel where I am separating commentated videos on a different channel while keeping raw gameplay on StubbyToePo with subtitles.
