Day 4 of 60-days-collecting-awesome-motion-design-references
I am gathering cool references for my own work as a Motion Designer, and this one caught my eye today.
I love the way that this one mixes typography, video, photos, and shapes. It does a great job with the mixed media style, and the transitions flow super nicely. The VO and sound design are also great; it guides you through the video and keeps you focused on it.
This was done by the team at Fern for Mezo.
beautiful work, this is so inventive & unique!
New cover, new visual taste test.
As a visual director, the hardest choice is choosing between your own creations.
Two covers. Two directions. One choice.

For this project, I handled the complete video-editing process, transforming raw footage into a polished, engaging, and professional final video. My goal was to create an edit that was visually appealing, easy to follow, and suitable for modern digital platforms.
I started by reviewing and organizing the raw footage, selecting the strongest takes, and removing unnecessary sections, pauses, mistakes, and repetitive content. I then structured the video so that the pacing felt natural and kept the viewer engaged from beginning to end.
I also worked on the visual presentation of the video by adding clean transitions, motion effects, zooms, and other subtle effects where appropriate. Rather than overloading the edit with unnecessary effects, I focused on using them strategically to support the story and maintain a professional look.
For the audio, I cleaned up the overall sound and balanced the different audio elements to make the video comfortable to watch. I also incorporated background music and sound effects where needed to improve the energy and atmosphere of the edit.
Captions and text elements were added to make important information easier to understand and to make the content more suitable for social-media audiences. I paid attention to timing, positioning, readability, and consistency throughout the video.
I also applied color correction and basic color grading to improve the overall appearance of the footage and create a consistent visual style. The final video was exported in a high-quality format suitable for online publishing and social media.
