Overview

Barrel&Blade sold survival-themed blind boxes full of knives, lights, and gear. It was a short-lived company owned by Daniel Dabbs, who is also behind CVMN Nation. I came on as a contract editor for two vertical ads that unbox the products. I didn't shoot the footage. I took what was filmed and cut both ads with a look and voice of their own, separate from the CVMN channel.

The final published versions use music the client picked after my edit.
