Overview

A series of experimental multimedia projects exploring innovative storytelling through diverse mediums such as stop-motion and 3D animations, video simulations, immersive installations, and interactive experiences.​

Since 2013, I have embarked on a journey to push the boundaries of traditional storytelling by integrating various multimedia elements. The goal was to create immersive experiences that challenge conventional narratives and engage audiences in novel ways.​

Challenges: The primary challenge was to seamlessly blend different multimedia forms to craft cohesive and engaging narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.​

Constraints: Navigating technological limitations, coordinating large interdisciplinary teams, and ensuring accessibility and relatability of avant-garde content to a broad audience.
