Repeat collaboration

This work sits inside a longer creative relationship spanning shorts and longer-form production support. That repeat context means understanding the client's voice and making future edits easier to shape, not only delivering one isolated file.

Finding the story inside loose footage

For the VO School social piece, the client supplied informal clips with no strict edit direction and asked for restrained music so the voices stayed central. The interviewer was difficult to hear and rarely visible, so the edit used the strongest clear repetition of “What I most love about VO School…” as the setup, then built momentum from the visitors' answers without replaying the question each time.

The structure followed the strongest usable voices in the footage rather than forcing a conventional interviewer / answer pattern the source material could not support cleanly.
