Producer

In this eerie stop-motion short film created in just eighteen classroom hours, viewers are taken on a haunting journey of transformation and acceptance. As shadows creep across a dimly lit room, a lone human figure battles an unseen internal struggle. With each subtle movement, the character's body undergoes a grotesque metamorphosis, limbs elongating and contorting into spider-like appendages. The eerie and unsettling visuals mirror the emotional turmoil of the transformation, as the central theme of acceptance unfolds. Through the haunting imagery and eerie atmosphere, the video explores the profound message that embracing one's true nature, no matter how unconventional, is the ultimate path to self-acceptance.

Jet Fighter Visual Effects Build

This visual effects sequence presented features a meticulously crafted fighter jet, where the pilot was initially filmed against a green screen backdrop. Subsequently, I constructed the aircraft and its surrounding environment by adeptly integrating a collection of images. The wings were extracted from one particular image, then skillfully adapted within the 3D space of Adobe After Effects. Meanwhile, the fuselage was sourced from a separate image of a fighter jet, and the seat was ingeniously repurposed from an image of a roller coaster. Additionally, the sky backdrop and the Heads-Up Display (H.U.D.) graphics were obtained from Production Crate and were carefully modified to fit the scene. The final composition was assembled and rendered in After Effects, culminating in a seamless and dynamic visual effects shot.
