This is the video that reinforced in my mind how important storytelling is in editing. Many times, opening this video, I kept wanting to add effects and transitions. But to me, not having them made the story more impactful. I focused on grabbing powerful audio lines from the seminar and contrasting them with footage of his actual fights. I wanted to make you truly feel the impact and understand what the boxer went through to get to where he is now.

My first boxing themed edit using After Effects. This project features masking, animated text that disintegrates into particles, and precise visual timing synced to the beat of the song. A great intro to combining storytelling and motion graphics in action content.
