EXPLORATION
Primarily a visual development artist, I focused on environment asset design, typography, and research for the film, including poster design. Being an ambitious hybrid capstone film, done by a primary crew of ten, together with friends and our faculty supervisor, I initiated learning and assisted with texture painting assets, coloring shots, compositing and producing.
