I had started video editing years ago before I even started studying Interaction Design. My passion for editing still shines and I try my best to make edits with different emotional themes; Sad, angry, mortified, happy, in love, etc.
​
With video editing, the hardest challenge is usually learning an application and using it in a way, as if it is an extension of our own hand, to shape whatever we want as however we'd like it. It becomes a time consuming task especially when it comes to applications like After Effects. But as soon as we have that control, the boundaries of editing that can be broken are delightful! 
​
I would like to incorporate video editing into my design arsenal because a lot of times it's quite underrated. It has helped me understand how important placements, audio-visual stimulation and having a grasp on how something affects the brain emotionally is. I don't believe it but while making wireframes, sometimes I'd like to think of the placements as shapes id used in editing and think "Which color would catch someone's eye?" or "How can I make this stand out less compared to the rest of the data on the screen?" or "Is this hard to see? Is it less/more important?". These things are important to know as a UX/UI Designer.
