For Expedition Overland: Season 6, I crafted the initial narrative arcs from days of multi-camera footage for three episodes, shaping the story and pacing in the first-pass edit before handing it off to the internal editorial team. Each hour-long episode has since premiered on their proprietary channel and YouTube, reaching over 100k viewers.

I was first tasked with Episode 4. I condensed four days of multi-camera footage per episode into cohesive 45-minute narratives. I developed the story structure, shaped the pacing with temporary voiceovers, and delivered the baseline edit within three weeks, collaborating directly with the director before handoff to the internal editorial team.

For Episode 10, I was tasked with consolidating 2 episodes into 1 longer narrative. This was a task to distill over 2.5 hours of a rough cut to about an hour before handing back over to the internal editorial team.
