World Building
EXPERIENCE:
To announce my move into freelance work, I created a reel featuring a storyboarded animation. The concept follows a character receiving a notification on their phone and being transported into a new digital world, where they select their avatar before entering a space that showcases my artwork.
The chosen character then catwalks through a series of environments displaying animations and pieces I’ve created. This approach allowed me to highlight work I’m particularly proud of while also demonstrating my animation and world-building skills.
It was one of the most technically challenging animations I’ve worked on, but I learned a huge amount throughout the process. Developing the narrative and thinking through the details of the world-building was especially enjoyable. To keep the project manageable and avoid overly heavy renders, I broke the story into smaller sections and built the environments step by step.
This type of narrative-driven animation is one of my favourite ways to work, combining storytelling, visual design, and motion to create something immersive and engaging.
