The Suffocation Room

This short film is a deeply personal and emotional musical work by director Alex King. I was responsible for editing and creating the visual effects for the film. With the efforts of an outstanding team, we brought this visually and aurally stunning piece to life. This experience taught me a lot (which I'll elaborate on later). Frequent communication with the director as an editor sparked a shared passion for creativity, ultimately leading to a result we were all proud of.
Learning Outcomes:
This work experience wasn't always smooth sailing. Along the way, I encountered issues such as file backup problems, conversion challenges between Premiere Pro and After Effects (I've since started using DaVinci Resolve), and a lack of familiarity with RED files. These challenges made me realize the importance of paying attention to small details. Overcoming them proved to be incredibly rewarding and helped me improve both my skills and mindset.
