To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Joseph Naman, I am the founder of Paradizo Films, a video production company, based out of Southfield Michigan. Through Paradizo Films, I currently run two growing YouTube podcasts, as well as produce video content and podcasts for local businesses and individuals, all of which, Drake Eubanks has been instrumental in helping to grow.
I met Drake in October 2023 at the Orion TV station, where I was invited to be interviewed on a show that Drake was directing and editing. I was immediately impressed with Drake’s work and skill, and asked if he was available to help out my channel by freelance editing for me. Drake’s editing capabilities go beyond simply switch cameras and adjusting audio, which other editors I have worked with in the past have only been able to do. His animation background has been able to take a lot of the content I work on to the next level, both visually and technically, and his knowledge and ability on what moments to cut, and what moments to turn into shorts for social media use has boosted the level of engagement on my social media platforms exponentially.
Not only has Drake’s editing abilities surpassed my expectations, but his technical production skills are incredibly impressive as well. I had initially only brought him in to help lighten the load of editing, but he has taken it upon himself to learn and perfect use of all of our equipment in studio, knowing how to use certain equipment even better than I. He has been an incredibly collaborator in the short time we’ve known each other, assisting with production work, and even helping with writing some of our highest performing content, and is able to achieve all of that on top of working a full time job. I can honestly say that Drake Eubanks is my ideal collaborator when it comes to video production and editing.
