Real Estate Brand Video — Rhealogix (Client: Camulo)
One-line caption:
Turned a raw real estate walkthrough into a polished brand video for Rhealogix — full edit, carousel-style sequencing, custom typography, sound design, and a licensed BGM bed, cut in Premiere Pro and finished in After Effects.
Project Overview
Camulo brought me raw, unedited footage shot for their client Rhealogix, a real estate agency scaling up its listings and brand presence. The brief was simple on paper and demanding in practice: take unstructured raw clips and turn them into a single, upload-ready video that could sell the agency's properties and professionalism in the first three seconds of a scroll. No shot list, no pre-cut sequence — just raw footage and a goal.
My Role
I handled the edit end-to-end: story structuring, clip selection, carousel-style visual pacing, typography and on-screen text system, sound design, BGM sourcing and licensing check, and final color/export. Everything below is the actual workflow I ran, not a template — this is how I work on every real estate/brand edit.
Workflow
1. Footage Triage (Premiere Pro)
Before touching the timeline, I logged every clip: usable vs. unusable, best take per shot, and which clips had clean audio vs. needed replacement. Real estate raw footage almost always has three problems — shaky handheld transitions between rooms, inconsistent exposure between interior and exterior shots, and dead air. I flagged all three per clip so I wasn't discovering them mid-edit.
2. Structuring the Story, Not Just the Rooms
Instead of cutting room-by-room in the order it was shot, I rebuilt the sequence around a viewing logic: exterior/curb appeal → entry → living/common spaces → kitchen → bedrooms → closing wide shot. This carousel-style sequencing mirrors how a buyer would actually want to "walk" a property, and it's the difference between a video that feels like raw footage and one that feels art-directed.
3. Clip Selection Criteria
For every room, I usually had 3–6 takes. I selected based on:
Stability — no handheld drift, prioritized gimbal/tripod shots
Light — matched or gradeable exposure across cuts to avoid a jarring bright-to-dark jump
Framing — wide establishing shot first, then a detail cutaway (fixtures, finishes, natural light sources) to hold attention
Pacing fit — shorter clips for high-energy sections (exterior, kitchen), slightly longer holds for spaces meant to feel premium (living room, master bedroom)
4. Typography System (After Effects)
Built a consistent on-screen text system rather than one-off titles — same type family, same entrance/exit animation logic, same safe-zone positioning — so labels (room names, square footage, key features) read as a designed system, not scattered captions. Typography was animated with eased motion (no default AE keyframe snapping) to match the pacing of the cuts underneath it.
5. Motion Graphics (After Effects)
Beyond text, I built light supporting graphics — lower-third style property details, subtle transition wipes between sequences, and a closing end-card with agency branding. Kept motion graphics restrained: the property is the content, graphics support it without competing for attention.
6. Sound Design
Sound design here isn't just "add music." I built a layered audio bed:
Subtle ambient room tone/whoosh on transitions to smooth hard cuts
Light foley-style accents on key motion graphic entrances
BGM ducked under any retained natural audio so nothing fights for attention
7. BGM Selection
Sourced a copyright-free BGM track matched to the pacing and tone of the property (calm, upscale, unobtrusive — not stock-corporate). Checked licensing terms before locking it in, since this was a client deliverable meant for public upload, not just internal review.
8. Final Pass & Export
Full watch-through for pacing, audio levels, and color consistency across cuts, then exported to spec for the client's upload destination.

BEYOND CAPSULE — Brand Identity, Packaging & Art Direction
Know what is inside.
An independent identity for a fictional US-market supplement line, developed from the information on the label outward.
The starting point was a nutraceutical brand with a futuristic aesthetic. The challenge was to explain its composition and formats without making that aesthetic stand in for evidence of results.
01 / Collection and detail.
The line presents ashwagandha root powder in two formats: capsules and powder. Format, ingredient and quantity lead the reading order. Yellow-green identifies capsules; lavender identifies powder. The palette carries through the label bands, lids, colored capsule halves and scoop. Names and numerical codes support recognition alongside color.
02 / From 3D to packaging.
The jars and accessories were built in Blender around that identification system. One half of each capsule is colored, while the other is transparent. The label hierarchy moves from the front panel into Supplement Facts, suggested use and supporting information. The second board pairs original 3D renders with the flat label artwork so the packaging can be read as a designed object, not only as a campaign image.
03 / Editorial and applications.
The same structure extends to a digital entry screen and A5 product sheets. The studio campaign explores the collection through low angles, top views, macro textures and a capsule held between fingers. Product references guide the AI-assisted images, with selection focused on consistency of color, packaging and scale. The accompanying 20-second film animates the selected stills and typography, with an original instrumental soundtrack.
Creative direction, visual identity, packaging, 3D and art direction: Mauricio Pontual / MP House Studio.
Tools: Blender and Higgsfield. Motion assembled in Higgsedit.
Self-initiated concept; not commissioned. Fictional brand and product specifications. AI-assisted editorial imagery based on original 3D packaging. No product efficacy or market results are claimed.
I love how you pair the colors

It's too smooth and good
Playing around with SaaS motion using Claude + After Effects + Higgsfield.
Just started experimenting with smooth movements, little bounces, and some morphing techniques.
Still figuring things out, but this workflow is pretty interesting. If this keeps working, making a full explainer video might not take a whole week anymore. 😄
Interesting workflow mix. Which part benefits most from Claude: planning the animation or building the After Effects setup?
