About Us
Hey there, I’m Michael Peterson, the principal behind Video Epic.
My journey here wasn’t a straight line, but hey, that’s what makes it interesting, right?
I started way up in the clouds…literally. For years, my entire life was dedicated to aviation engineering in the Royal Australian Air Force, where I maintained and modified supersonic fighters and strike aircraft. Anyone who has experience with the military knows that it’s more than just a job; it’s a total way of life.
Then Qantas recruited me to do the same thing on their Boeing 747 and 767 aircraft.
I loved the technical challenges, but as time went on, my creative side began to itch for a change.
With the Internet becoming a ‘real’ thing, my creativity found a home in building websites back when websites had to be hand-coded.
Then, my eye was caught by the emerging technology of Motion Graphics, which makes things move on screen!
Seeking to stretch my creative skills as far as possible, I sought training from professional Hollywood film editors. Thanks, Film Editing Pro. You guys are seriously cool!
I now work daily with the ‘tools of the imagination’, including multiple AI applications, Photoshop for image artistry, After Effects and Unreal Engine for crafting stunning visuals and VFX, and the industry-standard Premiere Pro for seamless professional editing.
I am also an operator at the Narrabri branch of Rescue NSW and a member of the RSL North West District Council.
The name “Video Epic” reflects my drive to create video ads that shine in a sea of the mundane, videos that leave an emotional impact. Whether through my own marketing endeavours or through client projects, Video Epic’s mission statement is to infuse each project with cinematic visual power and emotive musical scores and flourishes.
The Aim? – To engage and resonate with the target audience at the deepest possible emotional levels.
