RuPaul’s Drag Race S16 Promo
RuPaul's Drag Race Season 16 arrived at a time when drag was evolving, and this season was all about power to the queens. The stakes were higher than ever, and these queens weren’t just competing for a crown—they were leading a revolution in the queer community amidst potential drag bans and a tumultuous election year. In unprecedented times, drag became not only a platform for fierce competition but a movement for self-expression, empowerment, and breaking boundaries. The world belongs to those who redefine it, who shatter expectations, and who refuse to be anything less than unapologetically themselves — the future belongs to those who slay it.
📺 Conceptualized the Theme – Collaborated on the overall concept and theme to align with Drag Race IP.
📺 Pre-Production Ideation – Worked with the team on shot lists and visual concepts to bring the queens’ essence to life.
📺 Captured the Energy – Partnered with the creative director/producers to ensure the raw energy of the competition came through in every shot.
📺 Edited for Impact – Focused on pacing and sound design in post to create an intense, dramatic build-up while maintaining emotional depth.
📺 Fine-Tuned for Flow – Ensured seamless transitions between high-energy moments and emotional beats to keep the audience engaged.
