    JiuJistsu - Social Content Campaign & Photography — Altitude Gym
    Project Overview: The goal of this project was to capture the high-intensity, disciplined environment of Altitude Málaga's Jiu-Jitsu training sessions and translate it into a massive digital asset library. To fuel the client’s marketing pipeline across Instagram and other social channels for months to come, I delivered a comprehensive content package. This included shooting and editing multiple high-retention short-form reels alongside a curated gallery of 100 professional promotional photographs captured mid-training to maximize their organic social reach. Technical Execution & Deliverables: Multi-Camera Production: Employed a nimble, high-end gear setup consisting of the Sony FX30 for cinematic, high-framerate action shots, complemented by the iPhone 14 Pro Max for rapid, high-resolution alternative angles and seamless on-the-mat transitions. Post-Production & Editing: Designed specifically for mobile-first algorithms, the reels feature aggressive pacing, tight cuts synchronized to high-energy audio, and precise color grading to accentuate the gritty, authentic atmosphere of martial arts training. Commercial Photography Asset Library: Delivered 100 fully edited, high-contrast action and lifestyle images. These photos capture everything from intense sparring segments to candid team interactions, providing the client with an extensive bank of ready-to-post grid content, story backdrops, and promotional flyers. This project highlights my ability to act as a one-stop-shop for fitness and martial arts brands—delivering an exhaustive mix of video and still assets designed to sustain a long-term social media strategy. video videoeditor advert socialmedia
    Social Reels Campaign — Big Foot Gastro Bar
    This project was designed to dynamically showcase the vibrant aesthetic, premium food, and high-energy nightlife environment of Big Foot Gastro Bar in Torre del Mar. To provide the client with a robust social media content library, I captured comprehensive environment and lifestyle footage and structured it into 10 distinct, high-impact social media reels. The embedded video showcases one key example from this multi-video promotional campaign. Technical Execution & Post-Production: * Production Gear: Shot using a multi-camera configuration utilizing a Sony FX30 mounted on a DJI RS 4 Mini Gimbal for ultra-smooth, cinematic tracking shots through the venue, alongside an Action Cam 4 for high-energy POV angles and dynamic close-ups. Color Grading: Filmed in log profiles (S-Log3 and D-Log) to maximize dynamic range, followed by precise color correction and grading in DaVinci Resolve to bring out rich, cinematic tones that accentuate the bar’s colorful branding and moody atmospheric lighting. Motion Graphics: Designed and executed a custom animated logo intro/outro inside post-production to seamlessly brand the content, elevate the aesthetic, and drive brand recall across social platforms. This campaign successfully translated the physical vibe of the venue into a high-retention digital asset optimized for modern social algorithms. video advert videoeditor promotion
