Project Overview:

Based on personal experience, this short film captures the journey of self-discovery, as a seventeen-year-old embarks on an odyssey of new sights and experiences while haunted by memories of home. As the quest unfolds, the hometown becomes a distant, irretrievable past, symbolizing a journey of time, place, and transformation.

The project demonstrated the ability to manage and deliver a complete production independently. It involved designing immersive environments, developing animations using the Niagara system, material shaders, and Level Sequence in Unreal Engine. Motion capture for MetaHuman was also performed, bringing characters to life with realistic movement. Additionally, 3D assets were created in Maya, with color and light correction handled in Nuke, ensuring a polished and immersive experience.
