Client: The Solist
Role: Short-Form Video Editor
Project Type: Organic Brand Storytelling Content
Platform: Instagram & TikTok
🧠 The Challenge
The Solist is a brand with a strong message and premium feel, but they needed help transforming their written scripts and raw footage into scroll-stopping short-form videos that stayed true to their identity. The client wanted clean, minimalistic edits — no bold filters, no distracting overlays — just strong storytelling and aesthetic pacing.
🎯 My Role & Execution
🖋️ Script-Driven Visual Interpretation: I took short scripts that were primarily monologue-based and built out dynamic visual flows, adding subtle but effective b-roll to complement the message.
✂️ Clean, Elegant Editing: Delivered fast-paced cuts while maintaining a refined visual tone — no filters, minimal graphic usage, and precise subtitling in small, neat styles as per the brand’s guidelines.
🎵 Sound & Emotion Alignment: Selected soundtracks that emotionally matched the speaker’s tone and timing, enhancing the storytelling impact.
⚡ Fast Turnaround with Revisions: After understanding the brand’s preferences from the first round of feedback, I adapted quickly and delivered polished revisions across multiple videos.
