The work

Edits that move people, and a few that move the numbers too.

Self-directed cinematic and energetic sports edits, built start to finish in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, After Effects, and CapCut. Two have crossed 100K views on TikTok.

Case file 01 · Sonic HUD

A HUD that doesn't just look real. It is real.

The HUD and the level-complete screen are designed to emulate Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) on the Sega Genesis, recreated faithfully, then wired to real data. Every number on screen is driven by an expression tied to the actual play, not typed in by hand.

  1. Yard counter
    Tied to the real yards gained on the play and increments live as he breaks downfield.
  2. Quarter clock
    The actual in-game clock, counting down via a time expression. Not a static graphic.
  3. Ring counter
    Ticks up each time he runs through an animated ring, frame-matched to the footage.
  4. Level-complete screen
    Renders his real career totals in-world, styled like an end-of-stage stat card.

Case file 02 · Gemstone

Five names. Five real numbers. Each one verified.

A 2026 Lions season hype edit that opens with Suicide Squad inspired character reels: five animated title cards. Jared Goff, Jameson Williams, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, Dan Campbell. Each with a nickname and one hero stat that counts up on screen during different sections of the video.

Jared Goff
40,218total yards

One of the five cards, rebuilt live in code: the number rolls up from zero, the same way the After Effects expression drives it in the edit.

  1. Verified statistics
    Every stat is real and checked against primary sources. During production I caught and corrected numbers that were actually wrong. Nothing goes on screen unless it's true.
  2. Count-up digits
    Every number ticks up live, driven by an expression in After Effects rather than animated by hand. One slider controls the value; the formatting handles the commas, so a five-digit total like Goff's 40,218 rolls up clean. Change the number, the animation rebuilds itself.
  3. Two-app pipeline
    Built across Premiere and After Effects on a live Dynamic Link. The cards, masked players, frame-by-frame photo collage, posterize, and Honolulu-blue gradient outlines are built in Premiere; the animated text and count-up stats live in After Effects.
  4. Campbell speech spine
    Two Dan Campbell speeches, cut up and threaded across the buildup of the edit as its backbone, with invert-color captions and sound design synced hit-for-hit to the beat.

About

Editor first. Engineer underneath.

I'm a sports video editor and content creator out of Detroit. I make the kind of edits I'd want to watch: cinematic, emotional, and engineered down to the frame.

What separates my work is my engineering mindset, which comes from my background in computer science. I'm finishing a B.S. in Computer & Information Science with an AI concentration, and it shows up directly in the edits: data-driven graphics, expression-built HUDs, and custom animation logic.

That combination is what I want to bring to a sports media team.
