Below you can see a few examples of my editing and motion graphics work. I have included a bit about each project below the gallery. To go directly to the descriptions, click here: A Bit More About the Projects.
A Bit More About the Projects
Another Baking Show? You Bet
I performed in, shot, edited, and added all motion graphics and music to this video myself. I created it as an example of my long-form editing and content creation skills.
@Cosmic_Curiosity Breaking News Intro and YouTube Shorts
I have been working with the Cosmic Curiosity YouTube channel to create social media shorts from their longer form YouTube content since September 2024. As many of their videos feature tutorials and other visuals that work better in a landscape orientation, I created overlays to allow for the footage from their longer form videos to more easily fit in the vertical format. This also allows me to ensure that important information (including subtitles) doesn’t end up being outside the safety zones for YouTube/TikTok/Instagram, and gives me space at the top to add titles (that I come up with myself). I edit the shorts in Premiere Pro, animate subtitles using Brevidy (SubMachine was used for earlier shorts), create any necessary motion graphics bottom thirds text in After Effects, and normalize and prepare the audio using Audition.
Over time, I have modified the look and feel of the shorts and most recently (Fall of 2026) began creating shorts from “Breaking News” monthly livestreams. The first video you see in this gallery is the motion graphics intro I created to include after the initial hook for a Breaking News shorts segment and the second video is one of those shorts, followed by previous shorts from their usual weekly upload videos.
Autism From The Inside
“Executive Dysfunction – When EVERYTHING is too much!” & Companion Short
For this project, I was given the raw footage of the talking head portion of this video and no other instructions other than to edit a video in the usual style of this creator’s content. I created all of the on-screen animated text and motion graphics, selected the styles and where and what to add on-screen and when. I created a few thumbnail options and worked off of the creator’s notes to finalize the thumbnail used for this video. I additionally created the short mini-ad for AFTI membership included in the video at 16:14 as well as the companion short. For both the mini-ad and short, I selected what to showcase and edited / created motion graphics and subtitles for the final pieces.
The Autism From the Inside YouTube channel has 418K subs with 742 videos. The long-form video exceeded typical channel video performance within the first 7 days, achieving: 2.1x the average views, a 4.3% CTR, and a 17% increase over the average view duration. After 7 months, this video continued to outperform typical channel videos with approximately 3.4x the average views (20,247), a 4.2% CTR, and a 12.5% increase over the average view duration,
Motion Graphics / Animation Reel
This reel includes the following projects at the noted timestamps. If you open the video in YouTube, you can click on the timestamps to jump to any of the projects you want to see first.
0:00 End titles for the award-winning short film, Origin of a Hero, a serio-comedic take on the Batman origin story. I had free reign to create the end titles, so I decided to lean into the comic book style for the illustrations and titles.
0:56 Opening animation for a short social media ad for the Boston Court performance of With Love and a Major Organ. The idea was to introduce the audience to the character of Mona. The playwright used poetic language to describe her in the script, so I decided to showcase that description in this animation. To view the entire video, select the “With Love and a Major Organ” teaser video from the gallery.
1:26 The outro for lessons on the website for TheBridgeTeachers.com. I created an intro, outro, and short intro and outro tags for their lessons.
1:40 A short edited-down clip from an interview for TheBridgeTeachers.com.
All the Pretty Little Horses
I created this music video as a spooky post for Halloween. This is a lullaby I have found creepy since I heard it a few years back. I wrote the harmonies, performed the song, and edited it all together, adding visual and audio effects. I created the main audio effect you hear during transitions from one shot to another by speeding up a gun shot sound from an audio library I own.
With Love and a Major Organ Teaser video
I created this video to be posted on social media as an ad for Boston Court’s performance of With Love and a Major Organ. The show uses poetic language to describe the characters, so I created an animation to convey that description (this part of the video is also included in my Motion Graphics / Animation Reel). The second part of the video is Bonita Friedericy (who played Mona) performing a short excerpt from the show where she is at a virtual speed dating event. I played around with the visual look of the video to make it look lower quality as if it was being streamed through a computer.
Mono/Poly Interviews
When the creative team behind the live theatrical production of Mono/Poly decided to put on their world premiere (after a successful workshop performance in 2017), they hired a production team to shoot interviews with the writer/director, a couple previous cast members, and an expert in polyamory. Those videos were edited into a teaser for use in a fundraising campaign. When it came time to put that campaign together, they realized they needed more specific videos to answer prospective funders’ questions. As the interviews were not recorded with that in mind, I went through all of the raw footage and pulled various clips that I felt gave important information funders would want to know and then edited them together.
I worked with the production team to create all of their marketing/advertising materials, including key art, digital media, and merch.
