Talking-Head Video Edit with Motion Design
Daniel Okeowo
Talking-Head Video Edit
A talking-head video elevated through motion design built to make a simple, sobering statistic land with real visual weight.
The piece opens on a custom animated hourglass/clock sequence a glowing red clock face paired with an hourglass icon and "Wasting Your Life" text setting an emotional hook before the speaker even appears. From there, the edit transitions into clean talking-head footage, layered with dynamic on-screen data cards (glowing icon-driven stat callouts like "2.5 yrs Watching TV" and "1.7 yrs Social Media") that appear in sync with the speaker's points.
My role:
Edited the talking-head footage for pacing and clarity
Designed and animated the custom intro sequence (clock/hourglass concept)
Built synced motion-graphic data overlays
Maintained consistent color/mood between the intro and the interview
Tools used: After Effects, Premiere Pro and claude ai
