Just wrapped up this promotional piece for a podcasting agency! Handled everything from conceptualization and sound design to final animations. Tools used: After Effects, Figma, and AI image generation. How’d it turn out? Would love to hear your thoughts!:

Turning four different interviews with multiple camera angles into a high-converting VSL was no easy task. Here’s how I tackled the workflow: Footage Mapping: I laid out all the raw cuts and multi-cam angles to get a clear, top-down perspective of everything I had to work with. Story Crafting: I pared down four separate voices and pieced together a seamless, high-converting narrative arc. Pacing & Music: I selected the exact tracks needed to drive the energy forward and set the right emotional tone. On-Brand Motion Graphics: I designed custom visual callouts, text animations, and graphics to match the brand identity and maintain viewer retention. Sound Design & Audio Polish: I finished with full sound design—cleaning up dialogue, balancing audio levels, and adding subtle risers and impacts to give it a sharp, cinematic feel. Here’s a quick clip from the final cut. How did it turn out?

Most YouTube documentaries lose viewers in the first 90 seconds — not because the story is bad, but because the edit doesn't pull them in fast enough. I specialise in YouTube-style documentary editing: the kind where interviews, b-roll, and narration come together so naturally that the viewer forgets they're watching an edit. Whether it's a founder story, a day-in-the-life, a brand mini-doc, or a personal journey video — I'll build a structure that earns the watch time.
