Water, texture, and light, reframed as a moment of reflection. This piece was about finding rhythm in stillness letting color grading and sound carry the emotion instead of cuts.

I'm Victor Rodrigues, a video editor specialized in cinematic storytelling, color grading, sound design, and mood-driven visuals. I work with brands, creators, and agencies worldwide, turning raw footage into something people actually feel.

Currently open to new projects let's create something together. 🎬

Amazing shot! 🚀

Claude + After effects (Here’s the exact 5 prompts, copy them) 🧵

Prompt 0: Setup

Approach: Computer Use - from now, henceforth. Setup: After Effects is open on Screen 2. Goal: Configure the project and create 4 working comps, named Scene 1 through Scene 4, before anything is built. All 4 comps use the settings below. Project settings:

Color depth: 16 bpc

Linear blending on Comp settings:

Resolution: 2880x1620, square pixels

Frame rate: 30fps

Background: warm Don't ask any questions. Build.

Prompt 1: Plan the radial scene

Setup: Same project and comp. Plexus installed. Reference: Sketch (see first comment for the sketch btw). Goal: A radial plexus matching the sketch. All vertices start at a single centre point and spread outward in 3D. Lines grow from the centre to each endpoint. Each endpoint carries a different image. Camera with depth of field. Reading the sketch:

The circle is the origin. Every line starts there, none connect to each other.

Line lengths and angles vary on purpose. Keep that irregularity, don't make it a perfect starburst.

The sketch is 2D, but the build is 3D. Some lines should push toward and away from camera, not just across the frame. Current state: Nothing built for this scene yet. Constraints:

Do not touch the project. Planning only, no computer use. Approach: Consider the best possible way of achieving this. It should be able to be edited realtime as well. Prioritize using plexus Output: A recommended approach with reasons. I'll approve before you build.

Prompt 2: Animate Scene 1 line connections

(i went back to creating the first scene) Setup: Switch to the Scene 1 comp. Park the Scene 2 plan, we'll return to it. Goal: Lines animate their connections, drawing from one vertex to the...
