This project is about attempting to recap a whole movie in a timeframe under 5:00
(without the movie, losing any of its key plot points or meaning)

This project is an expansion up upon the last this time I picked a cinematic epic with a runtime over 3 hours
Trying to condense it and recap it in as little time as possible
(Same thing goes for this one also without losing any plot points or meaning)


Film: Hacksaw Ridge
Montage: Saleem Zwaid

This edit managed to get 133k views and counting.

The use of clever transitions and music synchronization helped it reach its target audience.

A personal project, trying to combine the universes of two movies together by only using parallel shots within the movies.

Films: John Wick, Atomic Blonde
Montage: Saleem Zwaid

This project is all about the integration of alternate narratives
(basically changing the original story without filming anything new using only montage tools)


It is an attempt to change the fundamentals of a well-known and established character

This project is all about recapping 9 years of character progression into the shortest amount of time possible with it still being coherent.

An ambitious project about tying action movie tropes with each other showing how similar they are and exposing clichés, all while trying to achieve that in less that a 1:00 time frame.

Films: John Wick, Atomic blonde, Mission impossible, The accountant

This ambitious project is another attempt at combining universities together while also changing the narrative.
While using two vastly different universes,

one of them is real life and shot on film and the other one is in a video game.

Trying to prove that all media tells a story no matter what

Media: The Walking Dead, The Last of us

A project about the fundamentals of Arabic music clips.
This video was shot all within one night.

But it took months of planning getting equipment, personnel, and props.

I helped with planning, production, location, and chose the song.

Song: لي بتقصر تنورة

This stand up reportage is about subverting the standards and challenging the fundamentals of reportages in general.
To me, they are a very important educational tool, but often I see people get bored of them, so I tried to make it more fun.

A project about adapting a book into a trailer before attempting it into a movie or a show.

In my personal opinion, this is a good marketing idea for two things either getting people to buy your book or getting a better pitch to Studios to adapt your book into a movie or show.

An anti racism awareness project, but instead of being boring and feeling like you’re sitting in a lecture, we make it like a social experiment or a prank for it to be entertaining.

Basically the main message is that if you see someone from another culture and they approach you, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they mean you any harm.

A horror short that is more focused on the buildup than the actual jump, scare at the end, basically the fundamentals of buildup 101.

Another attempt at making a book trailer, but this time it’s very ambitious, months of planning, preparing and gathering cast, equipment and props.
Shot over the period of a week.

For this project, everyone on the team participated in the montage process, the filming, set up and the directing.
