The Brief

This was my very first freelance gig, and it was anything but typical. One of my university professors approached me with a wild idea: film and produce a heavy metal reaction video. As someone who’s definitely not a metalhead, I said yes—and found myself listening to One Day Closer to the End of the World more than 300 times during editing.

I secured a professional recording studio, planned the shoot, and edited together a high-energy, multi-perspective video that captured the chaotic fun of live metal reactions. It tested my creative instincts and technical abilities all at once, and I loved every second of it.

For this project I taught myself how to utilize greenscreen, prepare proper lighting, and splice multiple videos into one.
