About

Michael Paul Francis, 29 | Sydney, Australia

I've been making YouTube videos since I was 12, mostly for fun in my spare time. Over the years I have developed skills in Photoshop, Premiere Pro as well as older, outdated editing software like Sony Vegas.

I am always looking to improve my craft and take on new challenges. What I don't have in experience and degrees I make up for in sheer determination and perfectionism. I am dedicated to my craft and should you give me a chance I will not let you down

I have a great eye for detail and a deep passion for creation. I am a fast learner and will pick up anything you throw at me fast.
