"I feel happy with these pockets of solitude,
when I'm alone, I never really feel lonely.
I love the thought of taking on something new by myself—
it proves my capability in doing what I want"
More recently, I have been carrying a strong sense of narrative where it isn't just perceived through visuals, but also emotionally. Each clip reflects how I feel, what drives me, and the moments that keep me motivated to continue creating. I aim to turn introspection into motion, furthering the personal reflection into stories that other people can connect to. Experimenting with writing has helped me ground the design process for building everything together to cohesively make a statement.
I always try to capture a feeling, the same way the ocean keeps moving, keeps crashing, keeps existing on its own.
I hope to create one that resonates with others, and I can look back at my own videos, like a nostalgic memory.
LET YOUR MIND WANDER
LIKE CRASHING WAVES
My videos start with a title sequence, carefully choreographed moment where music, rhythm, and design come together, telling you exactly what kind of journey you're about to take.
I choose a song that captures a nostalgic, warm, and reflective tone. Then I edit the clips to each beat, letting the music dictate the rhythm. Each frame breathes with the melody to build off each other.
TITLE SEQUENCES
NARRATIVE
I find the most enjoyment experimenting with the graphics put on videos as little details, even just to lighten the mood a little or as an added touch. The visuals create visual interest and reinforce my nostalgic narrative I am hoping to achieve, providing the user with the feeling that they are a part of the moment.
THE ANATOMY OF FEELING:
HOW I DESIGN, EDIT, AND USE
MUSIC TO TELL A STORY
Every video is a series of choices, the color that sets the mood. Like a song that makes a mundane moment feel like a distant memory.
I transform everyday footage into narrative experiences, using my own videos as case studies. I intended to create this as side project to explore how invisible choices that make a simple documentation can transform into a story through compelling visuals.
