About

I’m Akira Talaba, a video editor, motion graphics animator, and independent filmmaker with years of on-set and remote production experience. I write, direct, and oversee creative projects through my company, ZAP! Factory, and I also edit commercials, podcasts, social media content, and craft complex motion graphics for clients.

My background spans everything from providing on-set support for commercial productions to delivering polished post-production work for features, shorts, music videos, and fashion campaigns. I’m passionate about blending strong storytelling with clean, dynamic visual design—whether I’m cutting picture, building motion systems in After Effects, or helping shape a whole production from concept through delivery.
