Let’s Change Intention to Action.

You’ve been creating, testing and fine tuning your long-form creation for a little while now. You know you need to put some of that time back into other parts of your business, and quite frankly, you just don’t WANT to mess with one more minute of video editing!

It’s time for the next step.  Plus, you’re thinking about ways to make it look better, but… the time to learn that!

You need extra hands, extra hours or an extra brain to get all of this the way you want it to look.  

Intelligent Octopus is your “extra”.  

With over 20 years of editing experience, I know how to add that professionalism and quality to your videos… simply.  

To get started, we talk and make a plan based on your needs. 

Then you record normally.  

Next, you hand it over, take a deep breath, & move on to what your business really needs you to do.

Your video is in good hands!

It all starts with a short conversation.

You’ve got a great vision for what video will do for your business.

You just need someone to step into that editing skills gap.

My name is Erika Jones, and I’m the brains behind Intelligent Octopus.  

I love being those extra hands to fill your video editing skill gaps.

Clients come to me because they are:

• Tired of editing their own content.

• Less than impressed with their current hire.

• Never planning to learn editing (or AI prompting) on their own.

But you get so much more than just an extra person added to your team.

You also gain:

• Freedom to have fun in recording.

• Interviews that feel more like a conversation, because you don’t have to think about small mistakes during recording.

• An internal workflow that ends minutes after you end recording.

• The instant addition of experienced intuition that knows pacing, emphasis, and when not to cut.

In other words, the real value is the added confidence and simplicity to your process!

For me, all of this started a long time ago…

There was a fateful day way back in college, when I volunteered to help my InterVarsity chapter with a little drama skit.  Next thing you know, I’m being shown the only video editing suite on campus.  Most students didn’t even know it existed.   That first project was a steep learning curve, but I’ve been using those skills ever since.

After 15+ years of video editing in the corporate world and non-profit, I moved into the online realm. Video editing has gotten a lot easier since I started, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is that it’s still a pain to learn, and requires human input, especially for long-form content.

Let’s get that polish on your raw brilliance, so that your message reaches out clearly and consistently, and helps you change your corner of the world.
