Creator stories & examples

Creative stories and project ideas

“The oral-history opening puts the speaker beside a childhood street map. Before deciding how to remove the background in DaVinci Resolve, I prepared the interview subject here and took that layer into my editing project. I positioned the street names around his shoulder while the original voice carried the story.”
