Hip Hop Song Reel | NRI Artist Reel (Australia)
I collaborated with an Australia-based NRI Indian rapper to create a high-energy promotional reel for his latest track. The focus was on blending gritty street aesthetics with modern motion design to capture the artist's dual identity and the rhythmic intensity of the music.
My Post-Production Strategy:
Rhythmic Editing: Frame-perfect cutting synced to the track's BPM to create a seamless flow between the visuals and the beat.
Urban Motion Graphics: Integrated custom overlays, glitch effects, and kinetic typography that resonate with the global hip-hop aesthetic.
Vibe-Centric Color Grading: Applied a distinct visual grade to enhance the "International" look, moving away from raw footage to a polished music video feel.
Strategic Hook: Edited the first 5 seconds to feature the most impactful bar, ensuring immediate engagement for social media scrolling.
Key Deliverables:
High-Retention Rap Promo Reel
Kinetic Lyric Animations
Custom Visual Transitions
Tools Used:
Adobe Premiere Pro: For narrative flow and beat-matching.
Adobe After Effects: For glitch effects and advanced motion graphics.

I created an original cinematic tokusatsu-inspired short film called Project Melius using Melius. The story follows an orange armored hero and his loyal companion who evolves into a giant battle beast to fight a destructive monster. I used Melius to build the visual workflow, explore ideas, generate scenes, iterate character consistency, design action sequences, and develop the final cinematic storytelling pipeline. My goal was to create an original hero universe that feels like a nostalgic tokusatsu film while using modern AI creative workflows.

A cinematic exploration of scale, atmosphere, and survival.🏜️📽️
I wanted to see how far I could push Seedance 2.0 and GPT Image 2 by using them non-linearly. Instead of generating single clips, I used a Custom Text node to set a strict visual language, built a 2x2 storyboard sheet to guarantee asset control, and fed that entire structure into the video engine.
The final cut features custom sound nodes to drive the narrative pacing from a quiet opening whisper to a massive industrial crescendo.
