The First Moon Landing — Documentary-Style Edit (Practice Project)
Self-directed edit exploring the story of Apollo 11 and humanity's first steps on the moon. Structured archival footage into a clear arc — the mission's stakes, the landing itself, its lasting impact.
What I did: Color graded for consistency across archival clips, built motion titles/on-screen text in After Effects for key facts and dates, paced cuts to keep a historic, fact-heavy topic engaging.
Tools: Premiere Pro, After Effects.

BORA – Ad Creative Concept
Most kitchen appliance ads sell you the warm family dinner. I wanted to try the opposite.
Built this BORA concept as a portfolio piece, treating the product like architecture instead of tech – dark marble, concrete, no hands, no food styling. Just a pot, steam, and silence.
The steam does all the movement in the motion piece. Typography stays out of the way – one line, low CTA, nothing fighting the composition. Turns out when you strip out the lifestyle, the price point sells itself.
