DogAdjacent
I'm Naomi. A video editor, Graphic designer, Sys Admin student, and sometimes a dog.
The above video is a placeholder. I'm writing my portfolio script!
I've been using Vegas for 17 years, and i've upgraded to Premiere and After Effects to enable my projects to take advantage of their more powerful capabilities for motion graphics and advanced effects.I have professional experience doing video production for a consulting firm, in which my work was displayed at development conferences and in online courses.I've created both long-form and short-form content, music-focused edits, motion graphic displays, and informational tutorials.
I've been using raster graphics editors such as GIMP and Photoshop for 18 years, and have been learning Illustrator to branch into vector graphics for recent projects.I have professional experience in designing corporate presentations and brand creation.I have created logos, posters, and advertisements from concept to final product. My most prominent graphic work has been displayed at the Virtual Reality furry convention Furality, in which I created the Dealer's Den assets for a vendor.
If you can't find a relevant example of what you're looking for, please contact me using one of the links on the main page and I would be happy to discuss the needs of your project. I offer full rights buyouts, info about this and further usage rights is in my ToS.
Pricing for Video work varies on the complexity of the project. I will provide examples below as best I can. I do not charge hourly outside of large-scale projects, as I feel every hour I spend is worth the same. Instead, I base prices on the amount of total effort it would take, and the relative time spent learning any required skills.
Showcase/Portfolio (from scratch) - Starting $100 USD
Projects like this require days of dedicated work including identifying your brand, creating graphics, script writing, and back and forth concept communication.
Pricing for Graphics work is easier to quantify, but there will still be room to flex up and down on the prices below based on the simplicity or complexity of work requested.
Simple Logo/Watermark - $20 USD
Advertisement / Reference Sheet - $45 USD
General Terms of Service
❌ I reserve the right to decline a commission for any reason.
Sometimes the vibe just isn't there, sometimes the subject matter isn't something I'm comfortable working with, sometimes I'm just too busy. There's a large number of reasons why I'd want to decilne work, as much as I enjoy this. I reserve the right to do so.
💵 I must receive payment in full before I start working on your project.
There are unique exceptions to this, such as large-scale projects that will span weeks, and I am open and willing to discussing alternate payment options for such. But for a standard commission, I need to be paid before I start working.
📂 I will keep the files I used to work on your project for a minimum of three months after delivery.
I've only got so much drive space.
⌚ Refunds will be available only before half of the estimated workload is complete. Afterwards, no refunds will be given.
If I haven't started working, you're entitled to a full refund. If I'm in the early stages, and it seems like I'm not the right person for your project, that's totally fine and we can work it out based on how much work I've already done. I'm pretty good at seeing how much time and work something will take to do before I start. If I can tell that I'm around halfway finished your project, refunds will not be available. I will be genuine and honest about this. Scamming you is bad PR, anyways.In the case of you being aggressive, inappropriate, or otherwise creating a hostile environment between us, I will provide a partial refund before ceasing work. Be nice.
🎨 I reserve the right to use all of my works for self-promotion reasons.
If you require a project to be kept secret for any reason, professional or otherwise, please discuss it with me on an individual basis.
But to support myself and my ability to continue doing this, I need to be able to show to people that I can do it in the first place. This does not mean that I'm going to claim your work as my own, I will give ample credit and make it clear that my contributions were solely on the editing side. The extent of which I will happily adjust until you are satisfied.
📝 Large-scale revisions near the end of a project may require additional compensation.
When I work, I provide very regular updates. I do so to get feedback that what I'm doing is right, to ask questions about specific aspects of it, and most of all, because I love what I do and want to show it off. Changing things as we go is totally okay, there are going to be adjustments and suggestions from both sides as we figure out what looks best for your project. But if we get to the end of working on something, and it requires an amount of work that'd be close to starting the project from scratch, I will need to be compensated to do so. I reserve the right to advocate for my own time and effort.
