High-Retention Talking Head Edit for Irisimi

A fashion brand, Irisimi, needed their standard talking head video transformed into engaging, scroll-stopping content for social media.

The raw footage was a straightforward speaker-to-camera setup. The goal: make it impossible to scroll past.

Instead of relying on captions alone, I layered in motion graphics, animated text, and visual illustrations that appeared in sync with the speaker's words. Every editing choice was intentional, designed to reinforce the message, maintain viewer attention, and create a more immersive viewing experience.

The final edit transformed flat footage into content that holds attention and communicates the brand's message clearly. The visual layering approach keeps viewers engaged through the entire video rather than dropping off after the first few seconds.
