Live, mobile, action!

Videos, and many more videos to shoot and edit.

Before I turn to UX…

I was designing magazine layouts and editing videos for Young Parents magazines…

These are some of the more memorable videos (towards end of 2019 and during covid) where I practically have to do everything myself except for writing the script.

Sweet success

For this shoot, we worked with a child model, to showcase this event. I was involved in coordinating, storyboarding, art-directing, shooting, and finally editing this video.

This video was shot (on my Samsung S10+ with a gimbal) in 3 hours and took about 3 days of sorting/editing on Premiere Pro.

The video is available on the Young Parent’s youtube channel.
