NBA Mini-Documentary Cinematic Sports Storytelling & Video Editing This project focused on transforming a researched and scripted NBA story into a 10–14 minute cinematic YouTube mini-documentary designed to keep viewers emotionally invested from beginning to end.

Rather than approaching the edit as a traditional basketball highlight reel, I treated it as a narrative film, using real game footage, interviews, press conferences, archival material, music, and sound design to support the progression of the story.

The visual approach drew from modern sports-documentary storytelling, where pacing, footage selection, audio, and transitions work together to create tension, context, emotion, and payoff.
