The work

UGC built around the objective.

Browse by format and category to find the style that fits your next brief. Each piece is labeled by what it was built to do rather than by the product in it, so you can tell whether it suits your campaign before you press play.

Talking Head

conversational, no script read
0:25

Testimonial

In-ear monitors · Tech & Audio

Sells belonging before specification. It lands on community rather than driver count, because that is what the buyer is actually paying for.

9:16 · 4K

0:20

Product In Hand

Handheld console · Gaming

The product stays in frame throughout, and the whole piece is framed as a buying decision instead of a review.

9:16 · web version

0:17

Habit Testimonial

Journaling · Family & Home

Sells the routine first and the product second, pitched at someone who has tried this before and quit.

9:16 · web version

Unboxing & First Impression

macro detail · hands in frame
0:32

Unboxing

Console headset · Gaming

Overhead reveal with narration running over the open, then through build and fit to a payoff shot of the setup in use.

9:16 · web version

0:35

Nostalgia Unboxing

Retro handheld · Gaming & Retro

An old game library staged next to new hardware, so the nostalgia does the selling and the spec sheet stays out of it.

9:16 · web version

0:42

Spec Unboxing

Gaming monitor · Tech & Desk

Carries a spec argument all the way through the reveal and ends on the finished setup rather than an empty box.

9:16 · web version

Demo & B-Roll

macro · install · lifestyle
0:30

Product Demo

PLAUD · Tech & AI

Device in hand throughout, shot at the desk where it actually gets used. It sells the habit of catching a thought rather than the spec sheet.

9:16 · 4K

0:17

In-Use Demo

Cincom · Fitness & Recovery

Recovery gear shown mid-workday instead of in a gym, so the setting makes the argument: if you work like this, your legs feel like that.

9:16 · 4K

0:20

Macro B-Roll

OBSBOT Tiny 2 · Tech & Creator Gear

Feature set carried by motion and detail instead of a voiceover list, with hands in frame the whole way through.

9:16 · 4K macro

0:42

Install Demo

Monitor mount · Tech & Desk

Shot on a real working desk, where the before state is the hook rather than a staged studio build.

9:16 · 4K

0:33

Lifestyle Integration

Desk gear · Gaming & Tech

Low light, several products in genuine use. Built for brands that want their product in context rather than in a hero shot.

9:16 · web version

0:19

Pet Taste Test

Chewy · Pet

Opens on the dog, not the bag. A personal hook about the house taste tester earns the product shot, and the cuts follow the dog's movement.

9:16 · 1080p

Screen Recording & Software

app walkthroughs · SaaS · AI tools
0:18

AI Video Demo

Runway · AI & Creative Tools

No face and no voiceover. The prompt, the plan and the generated shots carry it, so the viewer watches one message turn into a finished video.

9:16 · screen capture

0:37

Software Walkthrough

Repeat.gg · SaaS & Gaming

The talking head carries the argument and the screen capture proves it, moving from sign-up friction to the feature that earns the seat, then into a direct call to action.

9:16 · screen capture

0:29

Challenge Series

Headway · Education & Self-Improvement

Framed as a seven-day challenge with a day counter, so the app becomes the method and the payoff is something you can hear by day seven.

9:16 · 1080p

0:22

Live Reaction

Elevate · Brain Training

The game is played live on camera. The reaction to each word does the selling, and the app is on screen from the first second.

9:16 · screen capture

0:25

AI Tool Walkthrough

BMC Coach · AI & E-commerce

Opens on the problem sellers feel, then the screen recording shows the answer coming back in real time and ends on one clear call to action.

9:16 · screen capture

Post-production

Creator in front of the camera. Editor behind it.

Plenty of creators can shoot. Far fewer hand back finished creative. I cut my own work in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, so what arrives is paced, captioned, mixed and exported for the platform it is running on, ready to go live or straight into a test.

About

I sold for fifteen years before I ever pointed a camera at a product.

I'm a 36 year old creator, professional video editor, husband, dad of two, runner, lifter, lifelong gamer and unapologetic Pokémon collector.

Before creating content full time, I spent fifteen years in sales. That experience still shapes how I approach UGC: I think about the person watching, the objection holding them back, and the reason they would actually care about the product.

I handle both production and post-production myself, with professional editing experience in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. That means I can build around the brief from the start instead of treating the edit as an afterthought.

I'm comfortable working scripted or unscripted. Give me a finished script, a few talking points, or simply the objective, and I can develop the angle from there.

Ad testing

One body. Three hooks. Built to be tested.

Strong paid creative rarely relies on a single opening. I can shoot one core concept and build multiple hook variations from the same production, giving your team more creative to test without requiring three separate shoots.

One body · sample brief, not client work

A portable charger

Same product, same body, same call to action. Only the first three seconds change, and all three versions come out of a single shoot day.

Three openings from the same timeline

Hook 01

Problem

"My phone died at 2pm at my kid's soccer game. Again."

Opens on the failure the product exists to prevent.

Hook 02

Authority

"I carry three cameras and a laptop to every shoot. This is the only battery I actually trust."

Opens on why my opinion is worth the next twenty seconds.

Hook 03

Cold open

No talking. Phone at 4 percent, plugged in, timelapse to full.

Opens on the proof and explains afterward.
