LiveWithSjaak
Long-Form
Freelance project
For content creator LiveWithSjaak, we helped revive his YouTube series Setup-Up Check — where he reacts to viewer-submitted desk and gaming setups. With sharp editing, tight pacing, and a strong eye for tone, we brought two episodes to life that perfectly matched his style and community.
Challenge
Smooth edits for sharp setups
Sjaak — known online as LiveWithSjaak — wanted to revive his YouTube channel by bringing new energy to his popular Setup-Up Check series. In this format, Sjaak reacts to gaming and desk setups sent in by viewers and other creators. The content already had a strong concept, but it needed editing that matched Sjaak’s personality: fast-paced, sharp, and full of character.
The challenge was clear: bring viewer-submitted setups to life with strong visuals, keep the energy flowing, and make sure the edit always amplified Sjaak’s commentary — not just supported it.
Strategy
Sjaak reached out via Discord, and together we started shaping the next phase of Setup-Up Check. As editor, the focus was on pacing, rhythm, and integrating Sjaak’s voice and humor with visual edits that enhanced — not distracted.
Each episode was carefully edited with fast, snappy cuts, strong transitions, and subtle motion effects to keep the viewer engaged. Using Sjaak’s own assets and branding, the edits stayed consistent with his visual identity. Sound design and timing also played a key role in building tension, delivering punchlines, and highlighting reactions.
Throughout the process, we worked iteratively. Sjaak provided feedback, we adjusted, refined, and repeated — until each video hit just the right tone for his audience.
Results
We produced two episodes of Setup-Up Check, both of which landed well with Sjaak’s community. The fast pacing and sharp edits elevated the viewing experience and made the content feel polished, fun, and easy to binge. Viewer feedback confirmed it — the reactions were positive, and the series was successfully brought back to life.
By staying true to Sjaak’s tone and sharpening the flow of his content, we helped create a version of Setup-Up Check that felt fresh, entertaining, and unmistakably “Sjaak.”
