Today we sat down with Joel, master of deadlines and leader of quality assurance for all things Pixorial. He may sit quietly in his office throughout the day but his “approaching milestone messages” come through loud and clear in our inboxes. Joel  monitors our entire development process from the beginning of a project until it goes live, which is a good thing too because our team is busy working on a number of different features and new apps at this very moment.

So let’s interrupt Joel and see what he has to say.

What is your role at Pixorial? Quality Assurance and annoying the Pixorial developers.

How do you use Pixorial? I use Pixorial for editing videos from my phone and for posting to Facebook.

What is your favorite feature? I’m not sure I could pick one favorite feature.  As quality assurance I get to use everything Pixorial and I love it all!  The simple editor, producer, the Facebook app, video albums, sharing to multiple social networking sites at once, the new Pixorial Mobile apps…these are just some of the amazing features that Pixorial now offers and I honestly like all of them, so I’m not picking a favorite :p.

What was the latest video you created with Pixorial? I recorded some of my co-workers engaging in an epic Foosball battle. I then used the Pixorial library editor to add some fun music and make it more exciting. I’m always amazed how a simple thing like adding music to a video can totally change the overall feel of a video clip.

When not annoying the developers, what apps do you like best? iTunes, GIMP, Rockmelt, PS3 games

Given your attention to detail, can you share a helpful tip? In most camcorders it will take a few seconds for your camcorder to start recording after you press the record button. For that reason give yourself a second or two after you start recording to have a subject start talking or an event to begin. Likewise, give yourself a few seconds after an event ends before you stop recording. It is much better to have too much video and edit out the pieces that you don’t want than have too little at the end of the day.

Okay, time for a little show and tell:
