Most people think editing is about knowing the right app.
It’s not.
Tools like CapCut, Premiere, or anything else don’t make a video cinematic your decisions do.
When I edit, I don’t start with effects. I start with story.
What matters first:
What emotion is this scene supposed to carry?
What moment actually moves the story forward?
What can I remove so the message is clear?
Only after that do I think about pacing, rhythm, and sound design.
A clean cut with strong intention will always outperform a “flashy” edit with no direction.
Even in CapCut, I treat every project like a film:
tight storytelling, intentional transitions, and audio that carries emotion not noise.
The goal isn’t to show what the app can do.
It’s to make people forget the app was even used.
That’s what separates editing from storytelling.

its good but use fade, correct timing of keyframes and the text animation is a bit fast.
In 2024, we built a version of Eviation that once felt right.
But somewhere along the way, we outgrew it.
Two years on, this identity is shaped by everything we’ve learned,
every doubt we faced,
every decision to evolve instead of settle.
And now, we’re ready to share it with you — with more clarity, more intention, more honesty.
Eviation, realigned.

Really amazing work👏🔥🔥
Beergang was a stylized NFT character project by Goodganglabs, launched on DOSI and sold out during its release.
I helped shape the visual world of Beergang by developing character personalities for different species, visualizing their traits, and creating animated behaviors that made the IP feel more alive.
My work included character animation, rigging, lighting, rendering, and editing across music video-style content, social clips, promotional marketing assets, and interactive web experiences. I also created scroll-triggered character animations for the Beergang website, adapting the rigging and animation so the characters could move dynamically within the web experience.
I also directed the overall music video production, from concept and storyboard to layout, animation direction, visual mood, and final edit.
Beyond video content, I worked on a web-based avatar communication experience for NFT holders, collaborating with developers on STT-based interaction, ARKit-driven lip sync and facial expressions, and UI-triggered character animations. The goal was to let holders communicate through their own avatars in a fun and expressive way.
Sick work 🙌
