What we filmed vs what you see
Every pair is the same moment: our view from behind the camera, then the final graded shot. Justin Johnson, Gracie Schram, Cole Simpson, and Jon Youshaei, from the main stage to the white wall with Monica Khan.
Two days at VidSummit 2026, the YouTube creator conference at the Irving Convention Center, filming for Monica Khan of Creator Revolution. We covered the main stage, the TikTok and Twitch booths, and a sit-down with Jon Youshaei, then cut ten creator interviews by hand in DaVinci Resolve. The two reels here are our own look back at the shoot: what the camera saw, and what it became.
On set, lit, and in the grind.
