Thoughtful editing and evidence-led graphics for true-crime and documentary YouTube channels—built around clarity, tension, pacing, and respect for the subject.
View editing studies ↓Original school and self-directed assignments developed into portfolio pieces—manually composed from type, layout, timing, and documentary conventions.
Ten original 1080p studies rendered at 60 fps for detailed, fluid documentary presentation.
Sector overlays, route interpolation, confidence levels, and a clearly qualified probable area.
A ledger-to-flow sequence connecting transfers, cash withdrawals, merchant activity, and a flagged reversal.
Waveform playback, isolated intervals, carrier timestamps, clock variance, and source matching.
Side-by-side exhibits with stroke, baseline, spacing, and pen-lift comparisons presented without overstating certainty.
A site plan combining camera geometry, a moving subject path, clock offset, and a measurable blind zone.
Read-only imaging progress, artifact categories, extraction events, and an integrity-hash verification.
Four signed handoffs, exact timestamps, storage locations, and tamper-seal status shown in one readable sequence.
A smooth route trace connecting verified camera, toll, receipt, and device records with a clearly marked gap.
Verified, inferred, and unknown events separated by source status and visual confidence.
Expanding radii, sector ranking, terrain routing, scale, and estimated coverage for two teams.
Focused 8-second exercises in character movement, reconstruction, parallax, and information design.
Subtle breathing, head movement, blinking, and a restrained hand gesture staged for narration.
A rain-soaked silhouette study using separate body, leg, and arm movement for a natural walk cycle.
Controlled camera depth across a document, location image, and route connection.
Verified locations and timestamps revealed progressively for fast, mobile-friendly comprehension.

A layered evidence sequence that introduces the document first, isolates the key timestamp, then connects it to an audio exhibit. The pacing leaves room for narration.
Fictional concept study. No real case, victim, or client is represented.
A time-led reconstruction that distinguishes confirmed events from gaps. Each card is written for fast comprehension on mobile without overwhelming the narration.
Fictional concept study. All names, times, and events are invented.

The signatures use the same witness number.
The corresponding witness ID was inactive at the time of filing.
A three-document comparison that guides the viewer toward one meaningful connection. Restrained color and hierarchy keep the material serious and legible.
Fictional concept study created solely to demonstrate visual storytelling.
A realistic Premiere Pro-style sequence view showing how a complete documentary edit is organized—not a generic animation mockup.

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.
