VIDEOGRAPHER / VIDEO EDITOR

PROJECTS

I aim to capture the essence and emotions of the subject or event I'm filming. Whether it's a wedding, a birthday celebration, or a travel adventure, I strive to create visually appealing and engaging videos that bring the moments to life. I pay attention to details, composition, lighting, and camera movements to ensure that each shot tells a compelling story.

​

I have experience in using professional software tools to enhance and transform raw footage into polished videos. I carefully select the best clips, organize them into a coherent narrative, and apply various editing techniques like color grading, audio synchronization, and transitions to create a visually cohesive and emotionally impactful final product.

​

Throughout my projects, I focus on understanding the client's vision and goals, and I work closely with them to bring their ideas to fruition. I am skilled in adapting to different styles and genres.

​

Ultimately, my goal is to create videos that captivate audiences, evoke emotions, and leave a lasting impression. I continuously seek to improve my skills and stay updated with the latest trends and technologies in videography and video editing to deliver high-quality and engaging projects.

I got a hold of a mirrorless camera and documented our family trip for my birthday last summer. The clips were all shot at 60fps, produced in a 24fps timeline, and reduced the speed to 80% resulting to a very surreal and dreamlike movements.

I love cooking and baking and everything that comes between including food preparation. Every single audio elements and track in this 2 minute video clip were imported, blended, and adjusted ensuring audio and visual elements are synchronized.

Halo-Halo is more than just a summer treat in the Philippines. It is a traditional delicacy that evokes a sense of pride and nostalgia for Filipinos all year round. I decided to participate in one of Bebang Halo-Halo's contest, ordered a bunch of their most popular, took some close-up shots and mixed it with a cinematic background music. Bebang reached out through one of their social media asking if they could use the same video and post it on their IG.
