The challenge
What needed to change
A Delta Sigma Pi application prompt asked which reality competition I would join and why I would win. I had two school days to turn the response into a concise and memorable video.
My contribution
Responsibilities
- Developed the Lego Masters concept and storyboard.
- Recorded and structured the narration.
- Edited the complete video and selected music and visual pacing.
- Built compositing treatments and a simple animated mouth rig for a still image.
The system
Approach and decisions
- Used a video-essay structure to keep the answer clear while allowing playful visual choices.
- Synchronized cuts, highlights, and music to the narration.
- Angled images and text in three-dimensional space and added restrained grain for an older television texture.
- Prioritized a complete narrative within the fixed two-day window.
The result
Outcome
The final video delivered a complete response with narration, rhythmic cuts, compositing, and simple animation. The portfolio uses an optimized derivative so visitors do not download the 92 MB source file.
