    paper Subject Education Platform - Promotional Video

    As the video editor, sound designer, and motion graphics artist, I created a dynamic sizzle reel that brought Subject’s educational technology to life. The project required seamless integration of multiple visual elements to communicate the platform’s core value proposition: making learning relatable and accessible through interactive videos, animations, and real-world scenarios.

    Key Motion Graphics Achievements:

    Interactive course library visualization: Created floating, dimensional course cards (like the “AP Physics” module) using 3D layer transformations and Red Giant’s Trapcode Suite for depth and parallax effects

    Device integration graphics: Seamlessly composited course content onto laptop screens using corner pin tracking and perspective matching

    Dynamic environmental compositing: Enhanced practical locations like the basketball court with additional motion graphics elements and color grading to maintain visual consistency

    The technical approach leveraged After Effects’ robust tracking capabilities combined with Red Giant plugins for advanced particle effects and color correction. The floating course cards were achieved through Z-space manipulation and custom lighting rigs, while the device screens utilized planar tracking for realistic integration.
    This project successfully captured Subject’s mission to revolutionize virtual learning while maintaining the high production values expected in educational technology marketing.
