Extra Credit is video series that examines topics related to history in the Thunder Bay District and exploring that history.
A huge part of producing videos for platforms such as YouTube is the editing. Unfortunately it can be a long and sometimes tedious process. Additionally, organizing and preparing to edit the videos can be complex and time consuming as well. This video will give you a behind the scenes view on how I prepare and edit my historical exploration videos for this channel. There is a lot of work that goes into creating each and every one.
Enjoy!
