This project is a YouTube Short and Instagram Reel that I conceptualized, scripted, filmed, and edited. I utilized a Sony A7Sii camera and Comica wireless microphones for high-quality audio capture, complemented by Godox strobe tube lights to create professional-grade lighting.

To incorporate additional clips, I used screen recording on my Mac to source content from YouTube, which was then seamlessly integrated into the final video. All footage was imported into Adobe Premiere Pro, where I edited it in a vertical sequence specifically tailored for short-form platforms like Instagram and YouTube Shorts.

After completing the edit, I used Submagic to generate accurate and engaging captions. Once finalized, I designed a custom Instagram thumbnail using Adobe Photoshop, ensuring it was visually compelling and aligned with the platform's aesthetic to maximize engagement.

I strategically selected a topic for this video that I knew would spark discussion in the comment section, encouraging active viewer engagement. The resulting conversations, my responses, and the number of shares contributed to the video reaching over 50,000 views. The completed content was optimized for platform-specific settings and metadata requirements and published on Instagram and YouTube, ensuring a polished and professional presentation across platforms.
