📌 Client
New Wine Church is a faith-based ministry focused on spiritual growth, leadership development, worship, and raising believers equipped to influence society through biblical principles.
✨ Project Overview
I edited a series of 5 social-first reels for the Pastors Conference hosted by New Wine Church.
The goal was to capture the spiritual intensity, leadership atmosphere, and transformational moments of the conference in a way that felt engaging and native to modern social platforms. Rather than creating standard church recap videos, the reels were designed to feel immersive, emotionally impactful, and optimized for retention across Instagram and other short-form platforms.
The edits combined powerful sermon moments, worship visuals, crowd reactions, cinematic pacing, typography, and music to communicate the energy and significance of the gathering.
🎯 The Goal
New Wine Church wanted to:
Create engaging recap content for the Pastors Conference
Capture the atmosphere, energy, and spiritual moments of the event
Produce reels optimized for Instagram and short-form social platforms
Increase online engagement and post-event visibility
Create content that resonates with both attendees and online viewers
🧠 The Challenge
Conference content can easily become repetitive or overly long, especially when translating live ministry moments into short-form videos.
The challenge was condensing hours of participants reviews, preaching, worship, and event footage into concise reels that still carried emotional weight and maintained audience attention. Each reel needed to feel dynamic and modern while still preserving the authenticity and reverence of the conference atmosphere.
The pacing had to balance inspiration, emotion, and clarity without losing the spiritual tone of the event.
🛠️ My Role
I handled the post-production and creative editing for all 5 reels, including:
🎞️ Short-form reel editing and pacing
🎤 Post-conference interview selection and sequencing
🎵 Music synchronization and emotional timing
📝 Dynamic captions and typography
🎨 Motion graphics and transitions
📱 Social-first optimization for Instagram Reels
The focus was creating content that feels spiritually impactful while remaining visually engaging and retention-driven for today’s audiences.
📦 Deliverables
5 Instagram reels for the conference
Vertical social-first exports
Captioned Post-Session interviews
Motion graphic enhancements
Platform-ready delivery for digital publishing
🚀 What I Brought to the Table
✅ Emotion-driven editing
✅ Social-native reel pacing
✅ Strong understanding of church media storytelling
✅ High-retention short-form structure
✅ Cinematic worship and conference presentation
✅ Clean typography and motion graphics
💡 Why This Matters
Church content performs best when it captures not just what happened, but what people felt in the room.
These reels were designed to help online viewers experience the atmosphere, intensity, and impact of the conference in a way that feels modern, engaging, and authentic to the ministry’s message.

Awesome!
Knowing when to keep it simple is also a creative decision.
Working with AGROSAVIA, the Colombian Corporation for Agricultural Research, was one of the most demanding projects of my career as an audiovisual communicator — not because of its technical complexity, but because of the exact opposite.
The pieces I developed are intentionally basic motion graphics. Animations explaining concrete agricultural processes — milk collection and handling in rural areas, palm oil production, good field practices — designed for farming communities far from urban centers, with limited access to technology and ways of learning that don't involve high-resolution screens or cinematic effects.
That clarity of context shaped every production decision: clean compositions, institutional color palette respected down to the last detail, legible typography, paced animations that guide attention without overwhelming it. No unnecessary transitions. No visual resources competing with the information. Everything in service of the message.
A Colombian state institution has communication guidelines built over years of deep knowledge of their audience. They aren't arbitrary — they're precise. The editor's job isn't to question them or modernize them. It's to understand them, respect them, and execute them with the same rigor applied to any high-level production.
Excellence doesn't always look the same. Sometimes it's measured by how many farmers understood the process the first time they watched the video.
