Non-Commercial Shorts

These are just a few of my non-commercial edits I created for stories I love. I’ve been able to create content for the joy of it as well as for my own design work on both TikTok and Youtube.

Why Do We Burn Books?

We tell stories everyday. To ourselves, friends, family, strangers. They have the ability to build or destroy. This is an edit focused on the power of stories, and why throughout history we’ve seen the censoring and burning of books. It highlights different movies throughout the history of cinema.

Arcane Edits (Fan Content)

Power

Using audio from The Godfather, this edit focuses on the elements of rebellion in Arcane.

Bodies Upon the Gears

Rebellion is a central theme in the Arcane series. I used audio from The Gears speech by Mario Salvio during the civil rights movement to make connections between historical rebellions and civil rights movements.

In It’s Right Place

Taking scenes from the show Arcane and Muse’s ‘In It’s Right Place,’ this edit is focused on the beautiful visual compositions in the show.

Epic the Musical Edits (Fan Content)

Epic the Musical is an online and streaming musical concept album that has garnered a large fanbase. Many animators have created original animatics for the series, with each song being represented in a variety of styles. These shorts are homages to these animatics and the songs that inspired them.

Marvel Edits (Fan Content)

Though there is plenty of discourse on whether the more recent MCU projects fail on the promise of their previous counterparts, there are some specific recent TV series and movies that shake that trend. Thunderbolts and the Loki TV series are among those.

The Underneath

Marvel’s Thunderbolts was a deep look into mental health, trauma, and grief. The cinematography was a wonder of it’s own. In this edit I pushed the conjunction of beauty and pain while highlighting the correlation between Yelena and Bob’s histories.

Book Launch (Commercial)

As part of my book launch for my art, poetry, and short story collection, ‘before I go I want you to know,’ I created TikTok shorts to highlight specific poems and their related imagery.

Pantone

This video used the photography, illustrations, and text from the original book and re-imagined them for video.

The poem ‘Pantone’ comes directly from the collection.

Etymology

This video used the photography, illustrations, and text from the original book and re-imagined them for video.

The poem ‘Etymology’ comes directly from the collection.

Patreon Series Launch (Commercial)

Eclipse Teaser

For my current book, Eclipse, I’ve been posting on my Patreon experiments for the animation and other visual elements.

Character Animation (Commercial)

North Carolina Education Lottery

For the yearly campaign for the North Carolina Education Lottery, I was tasked with creating four animations to be used as commercials, and on their social media and Youtube pages.
