Redesigning New Life Stories
I had the privilege of creating a brand video for New Life Stories, a local NGO, that captures the essence of their mission and the impact they have on the community. One of the most memorable moments during the shoot was when an incarcerated mother bravely shared her heartbreaking story. Her candid interview left everyone on set speechless, and I remember feeling a deep sense of responsibility to do justice to her story in the final edit.
In addition to creating the video, I was also entrusted with the task of revamping their website. This involved redesigning the user interface and implementing a content management system to make it easier for the organization to update their website on their own. The new website reflects the brand's identity and communicates their message effectively to their audience.
I'm proud to have contributed to the important work of New Life Stories, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact they continue to have on the lives of those they serve.
An Evolution in Living
NOIR is not your average apartment complex. From the moment you step inside, you'll be transported to a world of contemporary elegance and sleek design. The fully finished, minimalist studios are a feast for the eyes, with attention to detail evident in every corner. The clean lines, high-quality materials, and expert craftsmanship are a testament to the vision of the architects and designers who created NOIR.
In order to truly capture the unique beauty and features of NOIR, I set out to create an inspiring video that would showcase the essence of this innovative and stylish apartment. Using a blend of creative cinematography, music, and sweeping aerial footage, I sought to create a captivating and immersive experience that would transport viewers into the world of NOIR.
From the moment the video begins, viewers are drawn in by the stunning visuals and emotive soundtrack. Each shot is carefully crafted to highlight the unique features and design elements of NOIR, from the sleek, minimalist architecture to the expertly curated interior design.
Throughout the video, I worked to create a sense of flow and movement, highlighting the seamless blend of style and function that sets NOIR apart from other apartment complexes. I believe that this video truly captures the essence of NOIR and showcases the beauty and innovation of this stunning apartment complex. Whether you're a potential resident or simply someone who appreciates great design, I believe my video will inspire and captivate you, and leave you eager to experience NOIR for yourself.
KIA: Man Vs Machine
To truly demonstrate the ruggedness and power of the KIA Sorento GT, we knew that we had to create a truly memorable and impactful promotional video. Working alongside Gyro, we developed a concept that would showcase the vehicle's impressive capabilities in a unique and exciting way.
We decided to pit the KIA Sorento GT against some of the strongest players in the Singapore Rugby Union, in a high-stakes match of tug-of-war. This challenge would test the limits of the vehicle's power and strength, while also highlighting its durability and ruggedness in the face of intense pressure.
To bring this concept to life, we developed a detailed storyboard that would guide our camera work and editing process. We carefully planned out every shot and angle, ensuring that we captured the action from every possible angle and perspective.
After the shoot was complete, we turned our attention to the post-production process. We meticulously edited the footage, adding in special effects, music, and sound effects to create a truly immersive and engaging viewing experience.
I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to work on my first paid commercial project and create a promotional video that truly stands out. By pushing the limits and putting the KIA Sorento GT to the test in a unique and exhilarating way, we were able to highlight its ruggedness, power, and durability in a manner that truly resonated with our audience.
