PAUL BUTLER

Filmmaking and Video Editing

As a filmmaker I have created live action and animated short films, including original fiction, documentary pieces, corporate sales launch videos and tutorials that combine my skills in editing, graphic and motion design, editing and voiceover work.

Positive Status Effect

A short, non-fiction film about Tetris and its positive mental health benefits. Created using game footage, motion graphics, VFX on live-action footage and my own voiceover.

Digital Ghosts

Part of a series of short VFX art pieces exploring the concept of how ghosts might appear in the modern technological era. Made using motion tracking, inpainting and datamoshing techniques.

Commissioned Custom Mario Trailer

A commissioned trailer for a custom Mario Maker 2 world. I was provided the footage and the music track, but was otherwise given creative freedom on how to put it together. The trailer was edited to constantly follow the motion of Mario across each cut, creating a visual continuity that allowed viewers to see the variety of levels while easily following the action.
