I led this creative project as part of a four-person team. After one member drafted the script, I refined it to improve flow and narrative clarity. I took full responsibility for editing and visual effects in Adobe After Effects, leveraging my strongest skills to shape the final product. In addition, I directed and supported the other two team members during acting and filming, ensuring consistency in performance and visual style.
I wrote and directed this action sequence, deliberately minimising cuts to capture the intensity of single-take action scenes. Despite time constraints and limited equipment, I was able to achieve the intended style and was satisfied with the final result.
This was one of my first video projects where I centred the storytelling on dialogue and built tension through a dramatic reveal at the end. The narrative follows a detective confronting a former mob boss turned CEO, with the conversation serving as a psychological duel. My focus was on pacing, character interaction, and subtle visual cues to keep the audience engaged in a two-character dialogue-driven scene.
