Lovely design !
Hey, I’m looking for a video editor for my 18-year-old son, Syaire Barnes, who is a serious basketball player and point guard.
We’re launching a YouTube channel documenting his basketball journey. He’s currently 7 days away from returning to Phelps Prep, so we’re starting with a “7 Days Until Phelps” series.
We have footage from his childhood (around age 6) all the way to now at 18, and I want the first video to tell that story — childhood footage → development → high school → where he is now → transition into his current training and countdown to Phelps.
The goal is NOT just highlight videos. I want a cinematic, authentic basketball-documentary feel that shows the work, personality, struggles, development, games, recruiting, and ultimately where this journey takes him.
We’ll be creating long-form YouTube content and repurposing it into TikToks, Reels, and Shorts.
I’m looking for someone with a strong eye for storytelling and basketball content who can take raw footage and find the moments that matter without needing to be micromanaged.
I’m interested in starting with a paid test project and potentially building a long-term relationship throughout his season.
If this sounds like something you’d be good at, send me your best basketball/sports work and your pricing.
I’d love to connect and help bring Syaire’s basketball journey to life. The documentary-style approach you’re describing showing the work, growth, personality, challenges, and everything behind the highlights is exactly the kind of storytelling I’m interested in.
I’d be happy to...
What if taking care of yourself could feel this simple?
That was the thought behind ABA’S.
Instead of creating another supplement brand that simply says “take this for better health,” I wanted the visual identity to feel like an invitation into a better daily ritual.
So the grid became the story.
It starts with a simple idea — better habits, better days.
Then we move deeper.
What’s actually inside matters.
The formulation matters.
The quality matters.
The ritual matters.
Each frame reveals another piece of the brand, while the product remains at the center of the story.
The warm neutrals, natural ingredients, editorial compositions, and soft product photography were intentionally built to make ABA’S feel less like a typical supplement and more like a premium wellness ritual you would actually want on your shelf.
By the final frame, the message becomes simple:
Make room for better.
Raise your standard.
Make wellness part of your everyday ritual.
This project was about more than designing 9 social posts.
It was about turning a brand into a visual story people can experience one frame at a time.
