    paper Explainer Video Voice Over

    This project was done for a marketing agency explaining how to add a product to an ecommerce platform. The screen recording was provided, after which I generated a script and recorded the voice clips. They were subsequently synched to the video, and animations were added to indicate the fields in question. A title slide and end slide was also added.
