The client from StoryArb shared an inspiration video and asked me to recreate the style while adapting it to their own brand voice.
They provided a raw talking-head recording. I transformed it into a fast-paced short-form video designed for social platforms.
What changed in the edit:
• Hook-driven opening for stronger viewer retention
• Tighter pacing and jump cuts
• Branded captions and visual styling
• B-roll and motion elements to keep the visuals engaging
The goal was simple: take a basic talking-head clip and turn it into a scroll-stopping short-form video.
What makes a true crime documentary truly engaging: the storytelling, suspense, or the editing?
This project explores how cinematic visuals, compelling pacing, and strategic storytelling can turn complex investigations into captivating documentary experiences. What's the one element you think keeps viewers watching until the very end?
For TechEx Events we created the aftermovie of the event in the RAI Amsterdam
We had a great time being part of the event and capturing everything happening throughout the day. From the talks and conversations to all the little moments in between.
Always fun to bring an event like this to life through video.
