Short-form content has seconds to earn attention. The right edit makes those seconds work harder.
This reel shows three ways we approach short-form video editing at PADtv, depending on what the content actually needs:
๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด: hooks, pacing and captions.
๐๐๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด: B-roll, kinetic type, motion graphics and SFX.
๐๐๐น๐น ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: custom graphics and animation built from scratch.
The goal isnโt to add more effects.
Itโs to make the message clearer, the pacing tighter and the content feel intentional from the first frame.
Built for Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and branded social content.

For this project, I created a social media content series for a gym brand with a bold, energetic visual direction. The designs focus on fitness, motivation, workouts, and educational content, using strong typography, athletic imagery, and a consistent blue-and-white look.
I then brought the designs into motion using Jitter, adding movement and transitions to make the content feel more dynamic and engaging for social media.
I really enjoyed playing around with how much personality could be added to the designs without making the animation feel too busy.

Check out my edit of a social hype reel ๐ฅ, for an UGC agency:
Uncharted Agency is a global talent management and influencer agency bridging creator culture with major brands (K-Beauty, Tech, Lifestyle).
The goal was to create a fast-paced, high-energy brand manifesto reel that establishes Uncharted as a next-gen industry leader - moving away from traditional corporate agency promos and leaning into viral digital culture.
This looks amazing ๐
ketchup has looked the same for decades. POMORA was designed to make the category look again.
brand identity and packaging system for a contemporary ketchup brand, built on one conviction: a classic product with genuine quality deserves a visual language that shows it before the bottle is even opened.
bold red palette. organic tomato-inspired forms. packaging designed to stop someone on a shelf full of familiar bottles.
the tomato deserved better packaging. finally.
The organic tomato-inspired forms against a shelf of straight-sided bottles is the real move โ it doesn't just look "premium," it breaks the silhouette pattern shoppers scan past on autopilot. Standing out on-shelf is a shape problem before it's a color one.
