🧩 Project Overview
The Anesthesia Trailer Project is a self-contained edit designed to push my skills in trailer cutting, pacing, and VFX integration. Built from a short film concept, the trailer focuses less on full story and more on tone, rhythm, and visuals.
I created three hero VFX shots in Nuke using motion tracking and rotoscoping, then cut them into a fast-paced trailer to test how well visuals, sound, and timing could work together.
✨ Core Features
Trailer-Style Editing: Cut to feel like a cinematic teaser — quick flashes of story, strong pacing, and momentum
Nuke Motion Tracking: 2D/planar tracking used for screen replacements, insert elements, or stabilized composites
Rotoscoping Workflows: Clean roto for isolating actors/objects and integrating elements into live-action plates
Three Key VFX Shots: Designed and polished specifically to be “trailer moments” that stand out visually
Edit-First Mindset: The whole project was built as a skill test for editing and timing rather than just VFX alone
