Yesterday I made a small detail that makes a big difference in talking head videos.
A minimalist animation with a premium look.
In this kind of content, the real challenge is keeping people watching. It’s one person, one camera, and attention can drop in a few seconds.
That’s where subtle motion design comes in. Clean, simple animations that add rhythm to the video and give the viewer a reason to stay, without stealing the spotlight from the speaker.
When it’s done right, people don’t stop to think about the animation. They just keep watching.
Here’s the one I created yesterday 👇

Just wrapped a talking head trial edit for a client based in Dubai.
The goal was simple: take raw footage and turn it into a video people actually watch until the end. That meant a strong hook in the first seconds, tight pacing, clean captions, motion graphics only on the key moments, and sound design to make each point land.
Talking head is what I do best, and it’s the format I’ve edited for YouTube channels with 700K+ and 300K+ subscribers.
If you’re a founder or creator who records talking head content and wants it to perform, I’m open to new projects. Portfolio: migueljacoub.com (http://migueljacoub.com)

A short cinematic product video for a manufacturer of precision machined metal parts, created for Instagram. The goal was a clean, premium look that lets the product speak for itself, with minimal transitions and a trailer-inspired pace.
I handled the full post-production: editing and pacing synced to the music, stabilization of handheld shots, color grading to bring out the metallic finish and add depth and contrast, and sound design with subtle impacts and metallic accents to highlight key moments.

Campaign for Magnite, a global technology company focused on advertising and content monetization.
For this project, I was given only a brief and created everything from scratch— from the voiceover to sourcing B-roll and company assets, while adhering to the brand identity.
I had a lot of fun editing this video. Video editing, audio synchronization, sound design, color grading, visual effects, and dynamic typography. Hope you like it :)
