About Me

My name is Will Previdi. I am a Video Editor and full-time student-athlete at DePaul University running DI Cross Country/Track and Field. I am majoring in Film/Television with a concentration in Editing. I will be graduating in June 2025.

I am fluent in Premiere and After Effects. With Premiere, I edit. With After Effects, I specialize in creating plug-and-play graphics packages. Using systems of expressions and compositions, I make producing lots of graphics quicker and easier than you could imagine. It's all about the workflow.

I started as a freelance editor doing a million of different things and that landed me a great opportunity in DePaul's creative marketing office. In April 2023, I got accepted as an intern in creative services at NBC Chicago. When my internship ended, NBC hired me as a freelance Creative Marketing Producer. Now, I’m developing The Daydream Arcade YouTube channel from a little guy with 600 (Feb. 2024) subscribers to a slightly bigger little guy with 3,500 (Dec. 2024).

I am also a full-time student athlete at DePaul University competing in NCAA D1 Track & Field/Cross Country. In 2022, I qualified for the U20 World Championships in the 3k Steeplechase. I am going strong at 3 years and counting with Big East All-Academic honors. In 2023, I also earned All Big East honors in the outdoor 4x800.

On a more personal note, I want to do something with my life. I want to emphasize the importance of being an informed member of society. I want to lead by example by doing what I can with the resources available to me. I believe that being honest with oneself is one’s most important quality. The impact of my actions in this aspect of my life is invisible. With editing and graphics work, I get to see my impact. This line of work takes people’s beautiful ideas and makes them shareable with the world. I love my work because, most simply, I help make people’s dreams come true.
