Hi I'm Cédric, and I make videos.
I am a video editor and like to do photography and film in my own time.
What started as a wedding in Washington DC, ended in the adventure of a lifetime. I travelled through North America alone for 3,5 weeks. 6,5 in total.
In early July, I flew to Washington, DC, for my uncle’s wedding. After the celebration, I explored 9 states, traveling solo through 7 of them. Armed with my camera, I captured every moment of the journey. Traveling alone allowed me the freedom to focus on creating more intricate shots, including wide-angle distance shots as B-roll and scenes where I pass the camera, making the video experience more immersive for the viewer.
My main motivation was to create videos and photos that stood out. I had grown tired of seeing “generic” vacation photos and videos that lacked any real story. So, I challenged myself to produce high-quality content with real depth. The results spoke for themselves. I shared the final video with close family and friends, leaving a personal note alongside the link. While I expected the usual polite compliments, many were genuinely moved, some even getting emotional.
Short Film School Project: “OVERTAKE”
“OVERTAKE” came with its own set of challenges, including limited track time for the drivers and the inability to script any on-track events. Despite these obstacles, the film stood out among the student projects and won 1st place in our end-of-year competition. Its success was driven by strong storytelling and high production value.
Short Film School Project: “The 4 Commandos”
While “The 4 Commandos” didn’t achieve the storytelling quality I had hoped for, it exceeded expectations on the VFX front. With limited experience in After Effects and no prior knowledge of Blender, I managed to deliver impressive visual effects.
Though the film earned 3rd place, I learned a valuable lesson: storytelling is the heart of any successful project. This experience pushed me to improve both my narrative skills and my proficiency in After Effects, setting the foundation for future growth.
