After Effects projects

As a personal challenge to elevate my After Effects skills, I created this Breaking Bad edit using a 3D camera. The goal was to experiment with dynamic camera movements, depth, and compositing, while paying tribute to one of my favorite TV series. Every shot was carefully timed and designed to match the intensity of the music and the iconic atmosphere of the show. This project allowed me to push the creative limits of After Effects and refine my workflow for cinematic edits.

This short edit was created as a stylistic experiment to capture the tension and bleak beauty of Fargo Season 1. Centered around Lorne Malvo, the mysterious and unsettling force of the story, the piece explores themes of chaos, morality, and manipulation through a cold, cinematic lens. I focused on emphasizing the show's stark atmosphere, dark humor, and quiet intensity by blending sharp cuts with slow, deliberate pacing. Using Adobe After Effects, I enhanced the visuals with subtle grain, desaturated tones, and moody lighting to mirror Fargo’s distinct, snow-covered world. A minimalist concept that channels menace through mood and silence. 

This short edit was created as a creative exercise to explore VHS-style effects and nostalgic visual storytelling. I chose I Saw the TV Glow as the theme because it's one of my favorite films, its surreal atmosphere, haunting imagery, and emotional depth blend beautifully with the analog aesthetic. My focus was on recreating authentic VHS distortion, static, and chromatic aberration in Adobe After Effects, while keeping the pacing slow and dreamlike. A simple concept, executed with care and style.

This short edit was created as a heartfelt tribute inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas and my girlfriend, who encouraged me to make it. We both share a love for the film, it’s our favorite Christmas movie, and I chose the song We Fell in Love in October because it reflects the time our story began. The edit blends romance and nostalgia, weaving together the film’s gothic charm with the warmth of personal memory. I focused on creating a dreamy, emotional tone through soft transitions, gentle lighting, and a sense of bittersweet magic. A love letter in motion, where Halloween meets Christmas, and fiction meets feeling. 

This short edit was created as a stylistic exploration inspired by Little Miss Sunshine. I aimed to capture the film’s raw honesty and offbeat warmth through a grunge-inspired aesthetic layered with paper textures and analog imperfections. The rough edges and tactile feel reflect the film’s themes of imperfection, family, and acceptance. While I’m not entirely proud of the final result, this piece represents an important step in allowing myself to create without the pressure of perfection, embracing experimentation as part of the artistic process. 

This short edit was created as an emotional study of grief and isolation, inspired by Manchester by the Sea. I wanted to capture the film’s quiet heartbreak and sense of lingering loss through a nostalgic CRT-style aesthetic. The soft glow, screen flicker, and analog distortion serve as metaphors for memory, fragile, imperfect, and fading over time. My focus was on subtle pacing, melancholic color grading, and atmospheric sound to evoke the film’s tone of stillness and sorrow. A personal exploration of emotion, framed through the static of an old television. 

This short edit was created as a creative exercise and submission for a Call of Duty edit contest. I focused on combining cinematic shots with dynamic pacing to match the intensity and energy of the game. Using Adobe After Effects, I experimented with motion blur, color grading, and impactful transitions to enhance the action and keep the rhythm tight. It was a chance to push my editing skills and storytelling within a high-octane, competitive context. A bold concept, executed with precision.

This edit was made for a contest and inspired by one of my favorite songs, which helped shape the rhythm, mood, and emotional tone of the piece. I aimed to sync visuals tightly to the music, using pacing, transitions, and subtle effects to let both the song and footage complement each other. Created in Adobe After Effects, the edit was a personal challenge to blend sound and imagery in a way that feels both impactful and cohesive. A passion project, executed with heart.
