My name is Mike and I’ve been creating videos my whole life. My professional career started in 2016 working with an entrepreneur to build his personal brand. This is where I met fellow creator, Truman Mylin and together we’ve started multiple businesses, created videos for top brands and celebrities, and gone viral with our own personal videos.

We’ve also felt the lows. Hate comments, videos flopping, being dead broke, and facing burnout for extended periods of time. Truth is, creating GREAT work is HARD. But having the right tools can make things much easier.

In 2018 we started a video production company and lived, ate, and slept video production. We quickly ran into all the complexities and nuances of creating videos on a regular basis slowing us down months to get a video finished.

Tons of early mornings driving to sets and long days filming in various back breaking positions while a client won’t stop rambling. But that’s light work compared to the hours of unplanned raw footage to somehow chisel into a 10 minute Michelangelo and the clients only instructions are “can you make it cooler?”

Truly a logistical nightmare. “How can we make this easier?” We asked ourselves. When a mentor taught us something that clicked. We need a system. A defined and repeatable process that we can then follow and optimize. This idea eventually transformed into Viddy Studio.

We’ve been designing, testing, and pouring our hearts into this project to empower creators and brands with cutting edge tools to get their videos seen and their voices heard. Video has changed my life and no matter how old or young you are, it can change your life too.

We can’t wait to launch to the world on November 11th, 2024 and see what videos you’ll create with Viddy Studio!
