BIOGRAPHY
"Hi, my name is Jento Pieters and I'm the founder of Techrodd Studios.
Now I'm 23 years old, I live in Belgium and I speak Dutch. I've been playing around with editing programs for 8 years now. And I'd like to tell how it all started." But first about Techrodd. "Techrodd" is a YouTube channel created by Jento. Later on "Techrodd Studios" was revealed, the main difference is that at Techrodd Studios we offer paid services for digital content. For more information about these services, please visit the FAQ and the store. Techrodd Studios' YouTube channels offers After Effects tutorials, motion graphics, featuring intro's and other computer/software related tutorials. |

How it all started
"Back in 2008 I met a friend, Tim. He introduced me to the game 'RuneScape'. I think you might have heard of it, it's an online MMORPG. Anyway, in the community of RS there was something called "RuneScape Music Video". I got interested and wanted to try it out. So I did, and then it started, I opened Windows Movie Maker and started editing. After it was finished, I was proud about it even though it was the worst video ever in existence. But I became motivated to make a new video, since it was a pleasant feeling seeing the end result after much work.
I've always had a creative mind. I realized that editing showed off my creativity, so I didn't quit."

Making a YouTube channel with a vision
"After 3 years I got tired of these RSMV's and wanted to try something else. So I made an entirely new YouTube channel called "Techrodd".
Then I started uploading software tutorials and other visual video's, soon I discovered I actually liked it. I got to research about stuff that interests me, I got the chance to show off my creativity and ideas and I help people in the process. It's an amazing experience."
"You might wonder why am I so interested in uploading tutorials? Well, I got an answer for that. I am very good with technology and I am somewhat of the problem-solving-guy in the family and neighborhood. Although my English needs some work, I know I can give a lot of information about a subject that is interesting to me. Thus I try to improve my English every day, and my knowledge of all the software programs."
"One month, I was trying out some new programs. I discovered I was very good in Adobe programs, for example: Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and Flash. I was teaching myself how to use those programs, searching tutorials online, getting help by more experienced people, etc... But the program asked too much of my CPU so I turned back to Vegas until I had a decent computer."
The workstation upgrade
"As soon as I received my first real monthly income, I immediately ordered new computer parts. As soon as I received them, I assembled my new PC!"
Want a list with details of my workstation? Here you go!
"After Effects would run on the new PC like Paint on a quantum computer. Soon after that I could finally start to work on real 3D projects! Element 3D was released in the same month, I had a great experience with experimenting with this plugin. Every new option I found could do something amazing.
In the end.. working with Adobe programs was as easy as drinking juice with a straw."
Anyway, here I am editing, gaming and doing work for all my clients. I'm a busy man!
Thank you for taking your time to read this. I really appreciate it!
