Open on the strongest unanswered question, establish the stakes, then earn the viewer’s attention without false suspense.
Shape narration, interviews, archival material, and evidence into chapters that progress instead of repeat.
Clean speech, control music, build room tone, and use silence deliberately rather than filling every second.
Match mixed footage, maintain readable levels, add captions, and prepare consistent 16:9 YouTube exports.
No AI-generated people, evidence photos, or crime scenes. Portfolio graphics use manually arranged typography, document structure, redactions, timecodes, waveform design, masks, and keyframed motion.
A repeatable workflow for channel teams: understand the case, shape the narrative, support it visually, and deliver a clean episode.
Identify the central question, key revelations, necessary context, and the strongest opening beat.
Cut narration and interviews first, remove repetition, and make each chapter advance the story.
Place archival footage, documents, evidence graphics, and B-roll where they improve understanding.
Refine pacing, sound, color, captions, and exports while checking names, dates, and claims.
I’m Corin Huggins, a college student and U.S. Army veteran building a focused practice in documentary editing and evidence-led motion graphics. My current portfolio grows from academic assignments and independent studies, with an emphasis on structure, discretion, and clear visual storytelling.
I’m looking for junior editing opportunities, supervised sample assignments, and collaborations with documentary or true-crime creators. My main goal is to gain production experience, contribute to a team, and continue building my résumé.

The work does not reference an active investigation or real victim. All evidence graphics are manually composed editorial demonstrations; no generative imagery is used.
