5 Easy Sketchbook Exercises to Spark Your Creativity

I was commissioned to edit this video for the Susan Yeates YouTube channel, where she wanted to share “5 Sketchbook Ideas to Spark Your Creativity.” The goal was to create a fun, inspiring, and visually engaging piece that would resonate with her creative audience. Working with footage shot across multiple locations, I brought the edit to life using playful transitions, upbeat pacing, and creative animations that matched the script. I also carefully balanced the sound design, added music, and incorporated on-screen text to enhance clarity and energy throughout the video. The final result is a polished, YouTube-ready piece that encourages creativity and keeps the viewer watching from start to finish.
