I’m Md Shadik. I edit story-driven YouTube documentaries — tight pacing, maps that make the journey clear, and graphics that explain instead of decorate.

01Animated route map

The Soldier Who Never Got Off the Train

A 3,300 km train journey across eight states, told on one animated map: the route draws itself station by station, states light up as the narration names them, and a timeline card lands on the beat.

  • Diagram animation
  • Science storytelling

What I do

Everything a documentary needs after the script.

Documentary editing

Story-first cuts for long-form YouTube: structure, pacing, music, sound design and a hook that earns the next minute.

Animated maps

Routes, borders, journeys and locations that draw themselves on screen, so viewers always know where the story is.

Motion graphics

Title sequences, timelines, data cards and explainer diagrams that clarify instead of decorate.

Thumbnails

Bold, readable thumbnails designed to match the story and stand out in a crowded feed.

Subtitles & captions

Clean, timed captions and burned-in subtitles in English or Hindi, styled to fit your brand.

AI-assisted production

AI voiceover, AI visuals and research support where they genuinely help — always clearly labelled on screen.

How it works

Simple, in three steps.

  1. 1

    Send your material

    Share your script or voiceover, footage and any references through Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer.

  3. 3

    Review & deliver

    You leave notes, I refine, and you get a YouTube-ready 1080p master plus a thumbnail if you need one.

Pricing

Clear starting prices.

The final quote depends on length, footage and how many maps and graphics the story needs. You’ll know the price before I start.
