Talia Venn

Motion designer and editor working across film, titles, and spatial image

I edit moving-image projects and build motion systems that make pacing, hierarchy, and atmosphere easier to read.

Selected work

Frames with enough context to judge the work.

A moving-image portfolio still needs to name the project, role, format, contribution, and place to watch it.

Project 01

Night Current

Anonymous worker crossing a red-lit transit service corridor toward a pale platform opening
Role
Editor and motion designer
Format
Short film
Year
2026
Scope
Edit · Title cards

Context

A six-minute fictional short about two night-shift workers tracing a power cut through an empty transit depot.

Contribution

I cut the film around three repeated locations, using changes in distance and room tone to mark each return. I also created the restrained animated chapter cards. Pay attention to the transition from the red service corridor into the final wide platform frame.

Project 02

Common Signal

Warm circular signal form crossing a cool slate field in an abstract motion-identity frame
Role
Motion designer
Format
Motion identity
Year
2026
Scope
2D animation · Typography

Context

A modular motion identity for a fictional public audio archive, designed to introduce interviews without repeating one title card.

Contribution

I built a small system from one circular mark, a fixed type axis, and four timing patterns. The frames show how the identity shifts between speaker introductions, chapter changes, and a quiet end card while keeping the source title legible.

Project 03

Synthetic Garden

Translucent pavilion rising from shallow water in a dark synthetic garden environment
Role
3D artist and compositor
Format
3D environment
Year
2025
Scope
Look development · Compositing

Context

A short 3D environment study following an artificial habitat from hard morning light into a controlled night state.

Contribution

I developed the environment, camera route, material response, and final composites. The sequence concentrates on one translucent structure so changes in scale and light remain easy to compare instead of becoming a collection of unrelated renders.

Project 04

North Window

Hands preparing paper and tools on a long print-room table beside a cool north-facing window
Role
Documentary editor
Format
Documentary
Year
2025
Scope
Interview edit · Sound assembly

Context

A four-minute fictional documentary study built around overlapping interviews and observational footage from a shared print room.

Contribution

I organised the edit around the preparation, hand-off, and cleaning stages of one print run. Interview fragments stay short and specific, while repeated window and table frames give the viewer a stable way to follow the changing work area.

Project 05

Afterimage Index

Offset projection-white and red shapes forming an abstract title-sequence frame on cinema black
Role
Title designer and animator
Format
Title sequence
Year
2024
Scope
Typography · Animation

Context

A graphic title sequence for a fictional animation about memory, cataloguing, and the gaps between recorded events.

Contribution

I designed the title hierarchy, animation tests, and final type transitions. Each name enters through the same measured crop, then leaves a second offset impression that gradually changes the composition without reducing credit legibility.

About

Editing the relationship between image, type, sound, and time.

Portrait of Talia Venn in a low-key motion-editing studio.

My work moves between editorial structure, motion identity, title design, and 3D image-making. I begin by identifying what the audience needs to notice, then shape the cuts, transitions, type, and sound assembly around that priority.

I keep the project record close to the final frames: what the piece was, which parts I handled, and where collaborators can review the full work.
