TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF
I’m a video content producer & consultant – directing, cinematography, editing and I have the two best dogs in the world.
HOW DID YOU DISCOVER YOUR CRAFT?
I had no plans to make videos full time. Somehow, after university, I found myself learning video production in Ibadan. I’ve been making videos professionally since then, for four years.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR CONTENT?
”Intentional”. Whether I’m making videos for clients, or for my channel, you can easily tell that I pay attention to every possible detail. My YouTube videos are not your regular dog videos. Do visit the link in my bio. LOL.
WHAT ARE YOUR CHALLENGES AS A CREATIVE?
Finances aren’t so easy to come by. Also, it’s extremely hard to find dogs that have personalities to be documented. No offense to the owners but, the ratio of well-behaved dogs in Nigeria is low. Also, access to some dog owners is quite a task.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE TOOLS, PLATFORMS & PERSONALITIES?
Adobe Premiere Pro for editing, Instagram and YouTube. Cesar Milan and Eric Ita are my favourite dog content personalities. In general, Miss Techy, Tayo Aina, Fisayo Fosudo and Sam Kolder are my faves.
HOW DOES YOUR SOCIETY AFFECTS YOUR INDUSTRY?
It’s tough to make videos about dogs in Nigeria that has less than 10% of dedicated dog owners. Plus a huge majority of people in the society just do not like dogs, for several reasons.
IS THERE A GOOD SUPPORT ATMOSPHERE WITHIN YOUR PEERS?
Absolutely. It’s a healthy relationship we’ve got going for us, & I consider myself lucky to have that.
MOST CLICHE THING YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED IN YOUR FIELD?
Late clients. Abi y’all think I don’t have other things to do with my life?
MOST REWARDING PART OF DOING WHAT YOU DO?
I feel fulfilled every day, knowing that I’m really doing what I love, and also earning from it. My dad would also be proud. He always said I’d end up with the camera.
WHAT YOU HOPE TO IMPROVE IN YOUR INDUSTRY?
I just need the president to give me permission to eliminate anyone that tries to hinder independent creators from making content in public spaces.
