Miguel is ready for their next project!
This project was created during my time at Ginni Media, where I worked as editor on the trailer for Season 2 of Children's Aid Society's podcast, an organization dedicated to protecting children and youth from abuse, neglect, and abandonment.
The piece features distinguished alumni of the program sharing how their experience shaped their lives, how it helped them reach expectations and dreams they couldn't have imagined for themselves when they were younger, and how they remain connected to the foundation in some way even now. I handled the edit, shaping pacing, structure, and tone to let each voice carry the emotional weight of the story while keeping the trailer tight and compelling enough to pull viewers into the full season.
The goal was to create a piece that felt honest and human, letting real testimony do the work while the edit gave it rhythm, clarity, and momentum.

This project was created entirely using AI, from concept to final video. I handled the full narrative, visual direction, and cinematic structure, using AI as the production pipeline.
The film follows an astronaut exploring a spore-filled planet whose perception begins to break, blending reality with memory as the situation turns unsettling. Every element from visuals to pacing and dialogue was crafted to achieve a grounded, cinematic feel.

The piece is a stylized, fast-paced ad centered around the energy and identity of a sneaker store. Built through dynamic cuts, close-up product shots, and smooth transitions, the film highlights the textures, movement, and presence of each pair. The pacing and visuals are designed to feel sharp and intentional, blending lifestyle moments with product focus.
The goal was to create a cohesive, cinematic piece that captures the culture around sneakers while keeping the spotlight on the product through rhythm, detail, and visual flow.

This project is one of many AI-driven videos I produced during my time at Pray.com (http://Pray.com), where I worked for two years creating faith-based content. My role involved developing video concepts from idea to final delivery, using AI as the full production pipeline across video, social media content, and podcast visuals.
The piece follows a voiceover-led structure, using cinematic visuals, pacing, and tone to support the message and create an engaging, accessible experience. The focus was on clarity, emotional resonance, and consistency, ensuring the content felt grounded while still visually compelling.
This project reflects a broader body of work centered on storytelling through AI, combining narrative direction, visual design, and efficient content production at scale.
