My job responsibilities are kind of varied. I’m shooting video and I’m editing video. 

To prep for video shoots, I look through video plans, I set up shot lists, I coordinate talent on scene. 

I had a conversation with Frank Cucco one time about video and how he wants Impact video to be like how the Grateful Dead did video, which was documenting everything and having everybody involved. And I think getting sales and video to become one process is key for the future of Impact. 

Being at Impact and having the respect of the C-levels, and getting to interact with them and guidance and encouragement has been huge because this has really helped me mold myself into a professional. 

My name is AJ Thiede and I’m a Junior Video Producer at Impact.
