GENESIS

"Genesis" is the culmination of my MFA in Digital Animation and Visual Effects, and it perfectly showcases my 3D modeling and design skills. I combined various tools and techniques—ranging from compositing and editing to animation—to create a piece that symbolizes creativity, collaboration, and a love for film. I aimed to pay homage to the stories that have inspired me while staying true to my vision. I crafted a story from a conceptual idea, starting with mood boards, a complete storyboard, and animatics, leading to a fully rendered 3D animated short film. My thesis project not only provided an opportunity to collaborate with sound designers and music composers, who gave soul to my story, but also helped me understand a full production pipeline, rich with challenges and learning experiences that ultimately brought my idea to life.
