SENDiVERSE — Big Bang

A promotional edit for SENDiVERSE Big Bang, an event created for children with special educational needs and learning disabilities. The cut keeps the energy of the day front and centre while staying calm and readable — clear pacing, bold type and sound that supports rather than overwhelms.

After Effects

After Effects is where the design work starts moving: animated titles and lower thirds, logo stings, kinetic type, simple character and shape animation, tracked text over footage, and light clean-up or masking. Brand assets built in Illustrator come straight across, so motion pieces stay on-brand rather than looking bolted on.

  • Animated titles, lower thirds and end cards.
  • Logo stings and brand idents.
  • Kinetic typography and shape animation.
  • Illustrator and Photoshop assets animated natively.

Premiere Pro

Premiere Pro handles the edit itself — assembling multi-camera and single-camera footage, shaping a story, syncing and balancing audio, colour correction and grading, subtitles, and exporting the right versions for each platform. Most projects finish as a main film plus vertical and square cut-downs for social.

  • Story-led edits from raw event and interview footage.
  • Audio sync, levelling and music beds.
  • Colour correction and grading.
  • Subtitles and accessible captioning.
  • Platform-specific exports: 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1.
