    paper VIDS Agency - Business Owner Archetypes

    I was tasked with creating a viral short revolving around “Business Owner Archetypes.” I had a week to create the visual iconography to follow the script as well as craft professional sound design in order to bring the viewer into a believable world. As this was short-form content suited for Instagram Reels and TikTok, attention span is the most important thing to keep in mind. Everything had to change constantly while also not letting the viewer lose themselves in the chaos.
