Black/White Style Viral Reel 01
About Project
This personal project, a viral-style, black-and-white only motion graphics reel, was an exercise in high-contrast visual storytelling. My aim was to translate the dynamic energy and narrative depth of the superhero genre into a minimalist, luxury-style aesthetic. I focused on kinetic typography, clean lines, and sophisticated transitions to create a portfolio piece that is both visually arresting and conceptually unique. The reel was designed for maximum impact and shareability on social platforms.

Challenges
The primary challenge was the unusual intersection of styles: successfully merging the thematic intensity of a movie genre with the refined elegance typical of luxury branding motion design.
Balancing Visual Styles: Ensuring the black-and-white constraint felt intentional and premium, rather than limiting, required meticulous attention to contrast, texture, and light manipulation.
Pacing and Flow: A viral-style reel demands a fast, compelling pace. Maintaining visual sophistication while achieving this speed required extremely precise keyframing and a carefully curated audio/visual sync.
MY APPROACH
The core principle of my approach was to treat the genre's theme not as a movie, but as a high-end brand campaign. This involved using sophisticated and restrained typography and focusing on movement that is deliberate, smooth, and impactful—a move that is unconventional for standard genre-based promotions.
