🎞️ What Video Editing Means to Me
Video editing, for me, is all about telling a story.
It doesn’t matter whether I’m re-cutting existing footage or working with my own gameplay captures. I always try to build or rebuild toward a unique moment, one that carries rhythm, emotion, and intention. Editing is my way of expressing both my creativity and my mood, capturing how I feel in the moment. This is reflected through pacing, visuals, transitions effects, sound design, and carefully chosen music scores.
Music plays a big role in my editing. Without it, the edidits will just become moving objects without a meaning. I always try to use fitting, respectful tracks that set the tone and support the perspective of the chosen footage, often as a way to highlight and honour other talented creators rather than just showcase my own work. There is a lot of undiscovered talent out there that deserves attention, which is why I enjoy working with scores from artists who are still emerging. Their pure passion often brings my edits to life.
🎬 Why I Chose DaVinci Resolve
I’ve been working with DaVinci Resolve since version 17, and even its free version is incredibly powerful. Before that, I used the trial version of Sony Vegas, but as a hobbyist, paying for a full license didn’t make much sense.
Resolve gave me access to professional-grade tools without the price tag, bringing editing, colour grading, audio mixing, and visual effects together in one place. It felt like a truly revolutionary program, which convinced me to finally purchace a copy because it felt like the right time to finally support it.
Every new thing I learn in Resolve feels like a milestone, a small victory that brings me closer to understanding the craft. I’m not chasing perfection or production deadlines. I’m learning at my own pace simply because I enjoy it.
LIVE ACTION
MOVIE TRAILERS
GAME TRAILERS
Live-action animated trailers are still something I need to explore further. They combine live-action film with animation, as seen in movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Space Jam, and Alita: Battle Angel. These films feature animated characters, often brought to life through motion capture and detailed animation by skilled animators.

Creating trailers based on game footage allows me to indulge in my passion for video editing. I enjoy adding effects, personalize coloring, and adding unique music and effects to craft engaging trailers. Just like with movie trailers, this creative endeavor allows me to express my artistic vision and immerse myself in the world of gaming.

My movie trailers are not intended to advertise the original featured film. Instead, they are reimagined versions of the original, enhanced with additional effects, personalized coloring, and unique sound effects. I undertake this creative endeavor to satisfy my artistic and technical cravings, keeping my passion alive.
