Her Affinity – Artist Interview & Promotional Video
This promotional interview was produced for Brisbane recording artist Her Affinity following recording sessions at my studio in 2016. The project was designed to give audiences an insight into the artist’s personality, creative process and musical journey, while simultaneously showcasing the recording environment and production services available through my studio.
I managed the project from concept through to completion, producing and directing the interview before filming, editing and delivering the final promotional video. Throughout the edit, my focus was on creating an engaging narrative by combining interview footage with supporting visuals, performance highlights and carefully paced editing to maintain viewer interest.
Projects like this demonstrate the value of combining audio production with professional video content. Rather than simply documenting the recording process, the finished piece serves as a powerful promotional tool for both the artist and the studio, helping to build trust, tell the artist’s story and connect with potential audiences.
This project highlights my ability to move beyond traditional music production and deliver complete multimedia content that supports an artist’s brand across multiple platforms.
Borderline – Action Sequence Edit (Concept Project)
This individual editing project challenged me to transform a collection of raw fight footage into a compelling and cinematic action sequence.
Using footage supplied from the locally produced feature film Borderline, I was given complete creative freedom to develop the pacing, sequence and overall narrative of the scene. Inspired by the visual style and intensity of The Punisher, I crafted an original edit designed to maximise tension, impact and storytelling.
Beyond the edit itself, I created and integrated the sound effects and visual effects, enhancing each action sequence to deliver a more immersive and engaging viewing experience. Every creative decision—from shot selection and timing to audio design and visual effects—was carefully considered to build momentum and support the narrative.
This project showcases my ability to combine creative storytelling with technical post-production skills, demonstrating how thoughtful editing can transform raw footage into a polished cinematic sequence.
Camsplaining – Educational Comedy Video
Camsplaining is an educational comedy project that combines informative content with satire to explore the behaviour of an arrogant and sexist lecturer who remains completely unaware of the impact of his attitude and demeanour.
For this project, I was provided with the raw video footage, audio recordings, script and an editorial timeline outlining the required sequence of events. While the overall structure of the video was predetermined, I was given creative freedom to select the most effective camera angles and performances, shape the pacing of the edit, and develop the final visual style through colour grading.
The project required balancing educational content with comedic timing, ensuring the humour supported the message while maintaining audience engagement throughout the production. It provided valuable experience in editing dialogue-driven content, visual pacing and creating a polished final product from supplied production assets.
Fight Juice – Television Commercial (University Project)
This 30-second television commercial was created in 2022 as part of FSP1006 and challenged students to produce a broadcast-style advertisement using supplied video footage.
While the raw footage was provided, I was responsible for the entire post-production process. This included developing the creative concept, designing the on-screen graphics, editing the commercial, producing the soundtrack, creating and integrating all sound effects, completing the colour grade, and delivering the final broadcast-ready advertisement.
The project was designed to promote the fictional energy drink Fight Juice, using fast-paced editing, bold graphics and dynamic sound design to create a high-energy commercial with a memorable and humorous tagline: “Get ’em down. Put ’em down!”
This project demonstrates my ability to combine video editing, motion graphics, audio production and visual storytelling to produce engaging promotional content suitable for television and online advertising.
Dollars And Sense – TV AD Edit
Created as part of a university project in 2022, Dollars and Sense is a fictional television commercial promoting a range of hypothetical retail products.
While the project was intentionally light-hearted, it provided valuable experience working within an established creative brief. I was supplied with the raw video footage, graphics and background music, then tasked with assembling the commercial into a polished, broadcast-style advertisement.
My role included editing the footage, creating and integrating sound effects, refining the audio mix, applying the final colour grade and delivering the completed commercial. The project reinforced the importance of pacing, visual continuity and effective editing in producing engaging short-form advertising content.
Although designed as a fictional campaign, the commercial demonstrates my ability to take supplied production assets and transform them into a cohesive, professional advertisement suitable for television or digital platforms.
10 Easy Steps to Becoming a Rock Star Parody
Created in 2006 as part of my Music Technology degree, 10 Easy Steps to Becoming a Rock Star is a comedic short film produced in collaboration with Philip Tyrer. The project uses cleverly re-edited clips from The Simpsons to create a satirical guide to becoming a rock star, relying on hyperbole, timing and visual humour to tell the story.
My contribution spanned both the creative and technical aspects of the production. I co-developed the concept and storyline before composing and recording the original soundtrack, producing all Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR), creating the sound effects, and completing the final mix and master. I also collaborated on the video editing, helping shape the pacing and comedic timing that bring the project to life.
Although this project was created early in my creative career, it remains one of my favourites. It highlights many of the multidisciplinary skills that continue to define my work today, including storytelling, music production, audio post-production and collaborative filmmaking. More than anything, it reminds me that some of the best creative projects are those that embrace experimentation, humour and a willingness to try something different.
