I took up this project to explore a new aesthetic, experiment with different pacing, and challenge myself—and I’m proud to say it truly did. The edit took me around 30 hours of focused work, spread across 5 days (6–7 hours each day).
Project Challenges & Learnings

This project presented a variety of challenges that pushed me to refine my technical and creative skills:

Advanced Masking & Animation

One of the key sequences involved the user shuffling through multiple tabs to select a viral content idea.

This required precise masking techniques, smooth animation pacing, and finely tuned keyframes to achieve a natural and professional look.

Integrating Generative AI

To match the video’s vibe, I generated custom AI images.

Over time, I’ve invested heavily in learning the integration of generative AI in video production, mastering the “prompting” process to create consistent and impactful visuals.

3D Camera Movements

The reel offered the opportunity to practice and gain more expertise in 3D camera movement, further cementing my understanding of cinematic camera concepts.

Tools & Workflow

This project was completed independently from start to finish, using my dedicated editing setup and the following tools:

Adobe After Effects – Core visuals, animation, and advanced masking

Adobe Premiere Pro – Sound design, mixing, and transitions

Eleven Labs – Deep, bass-driven voiceover integration

Canva – AI-driven image generation
