My Roles
Editing, sound design, color grading, UX/UI for the companion site, storyboards, and 3D modeling.
Design intent
Build a clear emotional arc and a cohesive visual language across film and web. I aligned story beats, color, lighting, and sound with a companion site that communicates the narrative quickly and accessibly.
Problem
Early cuts lacked narrative clarity and sustained tension. Visuals competed for attention, sound cues were inconsistent, and the promo site had weak hierarchy and limited accessibility, which reduced engagement and shareability.
Solution
1) Storyboarded beats, clean blocking, and edit rhythms that guide attention and build suspense.
2) Color script from warm safety to cold danger, readable silhouettes, and lighting that supports mood and continuity.
3) Layered ambience and motifs timed to cuts for emotional lift; final mix tuned for clarity.
4) Watch first, then explore; concise IA, strong states, keyboard access, alt text, and contrast that meets WCAG targets.
