When Kanye’s Spiritual Awakening Went Too Far

This commentary video, created for Spiritual Files, explores the most controversial moments from Kanye West’s spiritual journey. From calling himself a “Christian Genius Billionaire” to making anti-Semitic remarks and mixing faith with politics, the episode highlights how Kanye’s transformation raised serious questions about authenticity and control. The goal was to create a highly engaging, fast-paced edit that matched the provocative tone of the script while maintaining visual clarity and emotional balance.

We edited the project in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, placing heavy emphasis on high-energy pacing, quick visual cutaways, layered motion, and bold text callouts. The first minute was designed to immediately capture attention with sound effects, sharp transitions, and tension-building music. Throughout the video, we aligned visuals precisely with timestamps and quotes while maintaining viewer retention across a complex multi-topic breakdown. Strategic CTAs and chapter pacing helped guide viewers through each controversial turning point in Kanye’s faith-based narrative.

The final result is a visually bold and emotionally charged deep dive that pushes viewers to think critically. It sparked a wave of conversation in the comments, helping build engagement on the Spiritual Files channel while reinforcing its tone as a fearless space for spiritual and cultural analysis.
