Softwares

All the Software I Used:

Video Editing & Motion Design

• DaVinci Resolve – Main editing software (timeline, cutting, sequencing, visual effects, audio manipulation, color grading, final export)

  

• Adobe Premiere Pro – Used to create the base for the title animation

• Adobe After Effects – For animating the title sequence (motion graphics, smooth transitions)

  

  
  

Audio Work & Music Creation

• Audacity – Cleaned up recorded dialogue, fixed echoey vocals, removed background noise, and even created original music

  

• LALAL.AI – Split tracks into stems (vocals/instruments), allowing me to isolate sounds from existing songs to remix and sync with scenes

  

• Eleven Labs – AI-generated hyper-specific SFX (like a helmet hitting the table) that I couldn’t find anywhere online

  

• Spotify – Helped me get through color grading each clip as it was dead silence for hours on end. (honestly, a lifesaver)

  

• Soundflame / Shazam – Used to identify tracks and film scores for inspiration or sound-matching

  

Visuals, Graphics & Branding

• Photoshop – For graphic assets, visuals and static text elements

  

• Design.com – Used to design my production company logo and custom header

  

• Cine Packs – Browsed for sound effect packs, visual effects, transitions, LUTs and inspiration, though I ended up color grading manually

Communication & Collaboration

• WhatsApp – Quick phone-to-PC file transfers + production coordination

  

  Discord – Screen-shared WIPs with friends for feedback; got editing advice from a friend in Arizona mid-process

  

• Wix.com – Hosting my blog and portfolio site

Inspiration & Reference Tools

• ShotDeck – Pulled reference stills to guide visual tone and color palettes

  

• Envato Elements – Used for downloading assets: SFX, VFX, stock footage, fonts, music, and more
