OVERVIEW

Summary

A keynote in California. A Reel edited overnight in Lyon.

Since February 2024, Picture Element has supported Jean-Baptiste Nicolet, the tech creator behind TheiCollection, with editing for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. A dedicated editor, reusable motion graphics and extra support at peak times help his videos keep pace with product launches while staying true to his voice.

The context

JB films his reviews around trade shows, travel and product announcements: CES in Las Vegas, the Beijing motor show and Apple’s keynote in California. Alongside his long-form YouTube reviews, he produces vertical videos for Instagram and TikTok.

Launch dates and embargoes set the pace. Editing has to keep up with the news while preserving the channel’s visual quality and voice.

The challenge

Publishing on the day of an announcement, on three platforms, in the voice of an independent creator who tests the products himself.

Keeping up with the peaks: CES in January, MWC in March, WWDC in June, Apple’s keynote in September, up to three edits a day.

The idea

JB on camera from the very first shot. Since 2024, it has been the hook rule for every edit: the creator before the product.

Then, one format per subject: the quick review on launch day, the series (“Apple Anecdotes”, in summer 2025), the interview (Panos Panay for Amazon in 2026), the brand integration.

The execution

An editing workflow built around the release date:

  • Prepare the edit. JB sends his topics, films his reviews and uploads the footage to our server. Each video has its own task and deadline.

  • Maintain continuity. A dedicated editor follows the channel, with additional support at peak times. The motion kit redesigned in 2025 uses After Effects templates to give the videos a consistent visual language.

  • Review before publishing. Feedback is shared through Frame.io, with subtitles proofread before JB signs off.

  • Join the shoot when needed. In 2026, a camera operator and drone accompanied JB on Volvo press drives in Barcelona and Mercedes press drives in the Basque Country.

  • Bring partnerships into the workflow. Branded content negotiated by Share Bien, including Hypershell, Saily and XPENG, follows the same process.

The outcome

More than 200 short-form videos edited since 2024. Car reviews, tech launches, tutorials, interviews and series: we provide ongoing support for JB, with a consistent visual language and a team that knows his channel.

For the part of the production with documented publication links between February 2024 and July 2025, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts posts totalled more than 34 million views, as recorded in September 2026.

PIC TOUCH

September 2026: editing the keynote overnight.

JB sent his footage from San Francisco. In Lyon, two editors worked through the night on the Apple keynote Reels, including motion graphics and subtitles. The time difference was part of the production plan.
