PROJECTS
HIVE
Adapted from Kafka’s Metamorphosis HIVE is an animated documentary-style series based on a man’s nightmares. Each episode is a creative retelling of these dreams, with auditory interviews for an insight into his subconscious. While you will never see the man or the interviewer, you’ll have a deep insight into his character as revealed through his unconscious mind. Due to this established ambiguity, you decide what kind of man our protagonist is.
This was a collaborative project, for a pitch project assignment I had during my studies. I worked in a team of 5 other students. It consisted of a director Freja Thulstrup, producer Ada Özen, dynamic designers Dārta Cigle and Dario Cinturrino, visual designers Aitana Cabornero and me. We were tasked to make a teaser for a animated series.
In this project, my main role was visual designer; I was responsible for designing "The Big Man", exploring the look of the stage. It was important for me to portray the feeling of shame, disgust in my designs. Besides that I also helped with animating the skeletons and camera movements.
Out of this project I enjoyed the most when everyone in the team got an opportunity to experiment with mixed media and express their own artistic style in a 2 second clip of skeletons "going crazy". So for this I made a short charcoal animation with a digital paint overlay.
PROJECT "COPY"
Currently I am working on a pitch bible for future biological horror series together with director Freja Thulstrup and producer Ada Özen. I am making character designs for all kinds of mutated monsters.
For this project experimentation is key, so I work with a lot of techniques. I made 2D exploration sketches, 3D models and in the future I'll be making stopmotion puppets as well.
AVATAR
This was another assignment I did for my studies. I designed and animated a character for a video game. One of the challenges during this project was to be able to make it interactive using Unity game engine for the first time.
A BIT INTENSE...
A short animation I made to practice 3D character animation. This was done in Blender using downloaded assets from an online gallery. I was given an assignment to make the character act out a monologue in a western movie genre.
FLIES (WIP)
An animatic of a short, on which I am still working, about guilt.
ALIVE
One of my first animations I have ever made, but one that I am still proud of. Traditional animation, charcoal pencil on paper.
ALMOST THERE
An educational animation spreading awarness about children refugees, who often lack the sense of belonging in their new shelter countries.
