Hi, I'm Nathaniel Drew
I built a 1.7 Million+ Subscriber YouTube channel using the skills of video editing, shooting, animation, and storytelling.
Frame by Frame is the first place I've put together EVERYTHING I know about how to become an Editor, Animator and Video Creator at a high level.
If you want to learn (or level up) your skills and make a career in Editing, Writing, Animation and Shooting videos, my team and I will teach you how.
