Role and Contributions.
This project is a stylised short animation teaser set in the late Victorian era, blending painterly cinematic composition with hyperrealistic surface detail and lighting. I was responsible for the complete creation of the opening exterior sequence, leading the process from initial look development through to final pixel. This included establishing the visual tone, environment development, lighting, materials, composition, and final rendered output to create a rich, atmospheric introduction to the world.
For the interior sequences surrounding the window shots, I focused on lighting, look development, and final polish, helping refine the mood and visual cohesion across the animation. I also created a number of custom hero assets from modelling through to final pixel, ensuring key focal elements maintained a high level of detail and storytelling presence within the stylised aesthetic.
