David Pedrozo: Video Editing Team Lead
David Pedrozo can find inspiration anywhere —
“I’ll see the street, the trees, the different signs… and think, ‘That looks good, but it would look better if I added this.’ I am always creating things in my mind.”
As the video editing team lead, David has been training and growing his team for the past year. Over the past few months, his team has nearly doubled, but David loves growing his “family” of video editors and motion graphic artists.
“I really enjoy seeing the newbies or my children. They’re like my children because, at some point, you’re taking care of them, and you want them to do good. I really enjoy that.”
Not only is David a source of inspiration and guidance for his video editing team — but also for those looking for astrological guidance. Curious? Read on to learn how David mastered video design as well as the stars.
"A journalist isn’t the only one with the authority [on truth] anymore..."
“A journalist isn’t the only one with the authority [on truth] anymore, I felt my degree was outdated, and I didn’t want to be stuck in the newsroom. At first, I felt insecure about being creative, but it was just an illusion…. I had the chance to develop my skills, and here I am. I felt it was the right time, and luckily I had the right people next to me to help empower me to trust my gut, creativity, and skills.”

The Story
How David Became A Video Editor
David wasn’t always a video editor. He studied communications and journalism in school and worked for DirectTV for 15 years. Five years ago, while working in the entertainment industry, he had a crisis — “I thought, how can I reinvent myself?” He found a path out of his old career through video editing, animation, and motion graphics. He began creating videos for his company and Disney, and soon joined Flocksy as the video editing team lead.
While he still loves to write, he feels that “the truth” could be found outside of journalism on apps such as Twitter and TikTok and he didn’t want to get caught in the past.
“A journalist isn’t the only one with the authority [on truth] anymore, I felt my degree was outdated, and I didn’t want to be stuck in the newsroom. At first, I felt insecure about being creative, but it was just an illusion…. I had the chance to develop my skills, and here I am. I felt it was the right time, and luckily I had the right people next to me to help empower me to trust my gut, creativity, and skills.”
When David first began exploring the visual side of art, he worked for a travel magazine writing articles about tourism. Now, David uses his travel experiences as inspiration for his projects at Flocksy. He loves seeing new cultures, places, and people — and you can often find him in museums in his free time.
How David Harnesses His Creativity
While he loves to travel and explore, David says you don’t have to leave your house to explore your creativity.
“I explore my creativity through cooking, reading, walking my dog, dressing up, having fun, mixing and matching old clothes, and painting with my friends. Astrology is also a great inspiration for me, I studied it for 5 years… and now I interpret birth charts”
Not only is David a star video editor, but he can also interpret the stars. Since 2015 he has been reading birth charts for friends and family and helping them “find light and answers” to guide them.
But his advice doesn’t stop at astrology, he also had some big advice for other artists regarding creativity: “Empower yourself.”
“The most interesting part of this job is exploring your creativity every day… The only compass you will find is your security and trust in yourself. That will lead you where you need to be — always.”
Work With David At Flocksy
David is grateful that he made a career change (and so are we!), and now loves how creative his role is at Flocksy.
“In the morning I might have to create a reel for a marketing company…and two hours later I have to create a new idea for an influencer. Creating something visual that only lives in the client’s mind is really gratifying and inspires me a lot.”
