Smirnoff Ice Summer Tour: Creating a Vibrant Video Series

Video series overview

Smirnoff Ice's Summer Tour was four events across four cities, each with its own flavor. My job was to turn the footage from those events into a video series that felt like the tour, not a recap of it.

Drink Inventively — event video
Watercolor — event video

Creative direction & execution

I was both creative lead and editor across the series, from concept to final cut. Each event — Killer Moment, Playing the Hits, Drink Inventively, Watercolor — got its own pacing, shot selection, music, color treatment, and motion graphics, but the four films had to feel like one campaign when you watched them back-to-back.

Tools & process

Premiere Pro and After Effects, with custom intros, transitions, and animated assets tuned to each event. I worked closely with brand stakeholders, coordinated on-site footage, and ran post-production through to final delivery.

The Big Journey

The series closed with "The Big Journey" — a recap that pulled the four events into one piece, the tour told end-to-end. It worked as both a brand anthem and a closer to the campaign.
