The client asked us for a creative TV campaign spot. After several rounds of brainstorming, they chose my idea: a family fighting over toast. I wrote the creative script and ended up joining the filming team as director.

We had to film suddenly, with no time to plan, script, or storyboard. I directed the film in the editing room, using only the footage the filming crew was able to capture.

  • Video Editor

I was tasked with editing a film without any script, guidance, or indication of what the client wanted. I decided not to use any voice-over and let the images and titles tell the story. Considering that, I think the final result turned out pretty well.

The client asked me to create a video to help launch their business idea: personalized travel itineraries. They gave me full creative freedom to do everything from start to finish.
