The spark for this project was the idea of a shared, unspoken connection that music creates between strangers in a bustling city.

The Spark : A Shared Rhythm

I focused on capturing the personal, immersive world of each character as they listened to their music, building anticipation for the moment their paths would cross.

This project began with a simple, comedic idea: what if two thieves, fresh from a successful heist, struggled with the age-old problem of fairly dividing their loot?

The Spark : A Humorous Heist

The quest was to create a narrative-driven ad film while learning and applying key filmmaking techniques.

As the Cinematographer, my personal quest was to shape the film's visual storytelling, ensuring every shot enhanced the ad's comedic timing and narrative strength.

The Quest : Crafting a Narrative Ad

As the Cinematographer, I designed the shot compositions and camera movements and as the Editor, I refined the pacing, applied color grading, and integrated the sound design to create a polished and engaging final ad.

The Craft : Bringing the Film to Life

The final film is a 2-minute, 38-second narrative ad for Splitwise. It is structured into five scenes across four main arcs: the break-in, the theft, the conflict and the reveal.

The Result : A Story-Driven Advertisement

My quest was to create a fun and relatable short film that personified the clumsy charger's struggle.

I chose a unique, pixelated aesthetic, mimicking the charm of retro video games to build a nostalgic and visually distinct world for the charger to navigate.

Using Blender, I built a world of blocky, pixel-art-inspired objects and brought the clumsy charger to life.

Some other assets were created on After Effects, which act as callouts of the objects in the animation.

The Craft : Bringing the Charger to Life

The final film, "Clumsy Charger" is a short, humorous animation that successfully tells a complete story without a single human character.

The film’s retro video game aesthetic, complete with a nostalgic color palette and sound design, creates a charming and unique viewing experience.

The Result : Final Animation

My project began with a personal connection to the "Violence Free World" initiative, an organization dedicated to promoting non-violence towards all living beings.

The Spark : A Call to Action

The challenge was to redesign VFW's existing exhibition, which was overwhelming visitors with dense posters and lacked engagement.

The Quest : Transforming Information into Interaction

This book consists of all the information about the different kinds of violence and the banners that are displayed are based on this information.

The model was an interactive exhibit featuring nine rotating cubes housed in a custom frame. Each cube was carefully designed to tell a story about a specific topic.

I created the surface graphics to guide the user's discovery. The physical model was then built, assembled, and prepared for its public debut.
