I filmed, edited, and brought to life in post-production this promo for Saharari Kantari, a solidarity concert by Euskal Fondoa in support of the Sahrawi people, with Itziar Ituño as the lead voice and 12 other artists. Behind the camera, in front of Premiere, and fully immersed in After Effects: filming, editing, motion graphics, and effects, all designed for the piece to breathe music, identity, and cause in equal measure. A project short in duration but grand in purpose — one of those that remind you why you do this job.

Creating ideas and promotional videos for the team at Iriarte Jatetxea restaurant, a high-cuisine establishment that challenges my creativity and versatility as a camera operator and editor. I enjoy telling these stories, in the kitchen, where they are usually hidden but where moments of stress, as well as the magic of cooking and camaraderie, occur.

For this project with Fundación Luckia, I worked on the entire creative process: from the initial idea and image selection to the final design, motion graphics, and sound mixing. I particularly enjoyed being able to think about the piece from the concept, not just execute it — deciding what to tell and how to show it, as well as shaping it in post-production.
