These projects allowed me to push my creative boundaries while also staying rooted in cultural authenticity.
šÆ Goals & Challenges
For my personal projects, the primary goal was to explore my creative vision, experiment with different styles and genres, and sharpen my videography skills.

The creative process for my personal projects involved a deep dive into the concept and structure of each story. I worked meticulously on the shot list, camera angles, lighting, and timing to ensure the footage visually conveyed the intended emotion or message. I also incorporated sound design and music to enhance the storytelling experience, creating a cohesive atmosphere for each project.
For my work with DV Productions, the approach was more collaborative. I worked alongside the channelās creative team to ensure that the narrative was culturally authentic while maintaining high production standards.
