🎬 Talking Head Sample – Telecommunications Niche Project Type: Recruitment Sample / Client Test My Role: Editing a talking-head video based on strict client guidelines

🔍 Project Overview

This project involved creating a talking-head video sample for a Polish telecommunications company as part of a potential long-term collaboration process. The client provided raw footage and clear editing guidelines focused on simplicity and clarity.
The goal was to remove unnecessary pauses while preserving natural reflection breaks, add captions in a specific style, and integrate B-roll. No visual effects, music, sound effects, or color grading were required, as the client wanted a clean and minimalistic corporate style.
To help the client choose the preferred caption style, I edited a 1-minute fragment of the footage and presented two different caption versions — one closely matching the reference video and another alternative style.

🛠️ What I Did

Selected a 1-minute fragment for the sample
Removed unnecessary pauses while keeping natural pacing
Added B-roll to support the message
Created two caption styles for client comparison
Followed strict minimalistic editing guidelines

💡 Tools & Techniques

Edited in DaVinci Resolve, featuring:
– Pause removal and pacing control – B-roll selection and integration – Animated captions in two styles

🎯 Purpose

This project demonstrates my ability to follow strict client requirements, maintain clean corporate editing style, and deliver tailored talking-head samples for B2B communication.
It highlights precision, flexibility, and attention to client preferences in professional video editing.
