    paper GB Coating

    GB Coating, a provider of high-quality wall finishes and flooring for homes, aimed to increase their monthly revenue from $20,000 to $50,000. We created two key videos to achieve this goal: a promotional video to highlight their benefits and a product tour video that explained their offerings in simple, clear language.

    Product Tour:

    These videos targeted their ideal customers, generating excitement about working with GB Coating. We also created 9 product snippets to further explain each offering. As a result, lead generation increased, and their monthly revenue jumped to $32,000.

    Currently, we are developing an e-commerce website, creating a content funnel, and running ads to drive purchases.

    paper Life at Orel – Corporate Film

    I wrote the script and screenplay and directed this project for Orel Corporation. The goal was to show how the company truly works and highlight its culture. To keep it authentic, I chose not to use professional models but instead featured the real staff members.

    The film captures Orel’s core values and shows what makes the corporation a great place to work. It reflects the people, the spirit, and the everyday energy that drive the company forward.

    paper Orel IT – Brand Video

    This was one of the most challenging projects I directed and wrote the screenplay for. My team and I had only 20 days to complete it. The purpose of the video was to help Orel IT expand into international markets and use it for presentations and investor relations.

    Orel IT has five main business pillars, and the video needed to highlight all of them. To tell this story, I used a creative tribute to past scientists, symbolizing innovation and progress. We cast actors with similar features and applied deepfake technology to create accurate faces.

    This was produced in 2023, at a time when AI resources were much more limited compared to today, which made the process even more complex. The final result was so well executed that some employees believed the production had been done overseas rather than locally.

    paper Project for SuntechIT Global

    We created a set of videos for SuntechIT Global to help them connect with potential customers and clearly communicate their process.

    When visitors land on their website, they’re welcomed with a video featuring the founder, giving a personal introduction to humanize the brand. As users scroll further, they see a process video that explains how SuntechIT recruits top-tier frontend, backend, and full-stack software developers.

    These videos aim to build trust and provide clarity, making it easy for potential clients to understand the quality and efficiency of working with SuntechIT

    paper Take Back Time

    Take Back Time is a television commercial I directed for Orel Corporation, a leading tech based e-commerce company. The screenplay was written by me, with the creative direction centered on one powerful idea: speed.

    The film takes inspiration from In Time and carries a futuristic visual language that mirrors the brand’s technology driven nature. A male character was cast as the hero to connect with the brand’s primary audience, premium women buyers, embodying trust, strength and confidence.

    From the pacing of the narrative to the futuristic aesthetic, every element was designed to highlight Orel’s promise of a seamless process that saves valuable time. The final commercial elevates Orel beyond e-commerce, positioning it as a premium lifestyle solution where time itself is the true luxury.
