For this music video, I edited a concept built on one image: a bright orange prison jumpsuit in a muted, confined world. My job was to make the cut carry the story from confinement to release. I cut on the beat to lock picture to rhythm, used pacing to build tension through the verses, and let the edit open up in the final chorus as the visuals move toward freedom. I used match cuts and whip transitions to move between spaces, and a colour grade that starts cool and desaturated, then lifts to warm tones as the character breaks free

I produced the launch video for the CIoD app, introducing it to its audience and showing what it does. I edited the piece in DaVinci Resolve, pairing screen recordings and visuals of the app with clean motion graphics, text callouts, and smooth transitions to walk viewers through its key features. The brand's green and gold palette ran through the whole video: green for a fresh, trustworthy base, with gold accents on titles, highlights, and key moments to add a premium feel. I graded the footage so both colours stayed rich and consistent from scene to scene, and paced the edit with matching sound to keep it energetic and clear.

I created a motion design piece for Waitlist, a real estate brand, using DaVinci Resolve and built around their signature palette of rich greens and white. The goal was to reflect the brand's identity: modern, trustworthy, and growth-oriented. Using Resolve's Fusion page, I animated clean text reveals, fluid transitions, and subtle scale and slide movements to keep the visuals polished and easy to follow. Shades of green were layered to add depth and energy, while white space kept the composition fresh and uncluttered. In the Color page, I graded the piece so the greens stayed consistent and true to the brand across every scene. The result is a cohesive, professional motion piece that strengthens Waitlist's brand presence and communicates their value clearly across digital platforms. I assumed the Fusion and Color page details, so adjust if you worked differently (for example, if you did the animation on the Edit page with keyframes). Tell me the piece's purpose and length, and I can make this more specific
