Editing an Interview with the Founder of Best Buy

I had the rare honor and privilege of editing an interview with the founder of Best Buy, Richard M. Schulze, and condensing it into a 10-minute exploration of his three main initiatives for supporting budding entrepreneurs. This required cleaning up small audio hiccups, boosting the volume and clarity of the host’s microphone where it dropped out, incorporating brand elements, and cutting between multiple camera angles in a way to best spotlight both Schulze and the interview host. The main focus, however, was on Schulze and his initiatives.

This video was edited in Premiere Pro, and I put together the outro subscription slide in After Effects.

I’d like to give a huge thanks to Jennifer Gessner, my project manager, and Entrepreneur & Innovation Exchange (EIX) for tapping me to work on this video, which is the first of a few iterations. I’m also editing the full-length version of the interview and 1-2 more condensed videos focusing on different facets of the conversation between Schulze and host Jim Wetherbe. More on that to come.

Thank you as well to professional producer and videographer Dan Lipman for capturing the footage.
