With Astro Project for Snoop Dogg
Snoop Dogg: I C Your Bullsh*t
A narrative music-video edit moving through classrooms, bedrooms, time travel, historical scenes, and the multiverse, with a dialogue-led cinematic sequence built through sound.
The assignment
The brief.
Directors Jesse Wellens and James Defina built the video around Snoop Dogg moving through a series of eras, environments, and comic set pieces. The footage needed to become one coherent journey while staying locked to the energy of the track.
Tim edited the narrative and designed sound for the dialogue-led plantation sequence, where the music gives way to a cinematic scene before the video returns to the wider time-travel structure.
What I handled
My role in the finished work.
A direct breakdown of the disciplines and deliverables I handled.
Narrative editing
Shaped the classroom, bedroom, time-machine, historical, and multiverse material into a continuous story aligned with the directors' vision and the rhythm of the music.
Sound design
Built the dialogue, ambience, and effects for the cinematic historical sequence so it could carry the narrative while the song temporarily dropped away.
Selected frames
A first look at the work.
Video Editor
A story that moves with the music.
Working with the directors' vision, I connected Snoop's changing characters, eras, and comic set pieces into a continuous journey. The edit balances the track's momentum with room for each scene to land.
Sound Design
Sound that holds the scene.
The dialogue-led cinematic sequence gives the music a pause and the story a different kind of weight. My sound design supports that shift, holding the scene's tension before the video returns to the track.

Creative focus
What gives the work its character.
Multiple worlds, one progression
Transitions and scene order were used to make the jump between distinct sets and eras feel intentional rather than episodic.
A pause inside the track
The dialogue-led sequence created a deliberate tonal shift, with sound design taking over before the edit returned to the music-video structure.
The outcome
Where the work landed.
The completed edit and sound work appear in the released I C Your Bullsh*t music video.
