Master's work / 2026
Two original environment assignments developed during my master’s studies, presented as complete cinematic journeys.
Master’s environment study
A cinematic world-building assignment created for my master’s program. I designed and built the environment from scratch, developing its architecture, lighting, materials, atmosphere, and final presentation as one cohesive journey.
The Crying Village · Master’s environment study
A luminous village and water-ring environment made for my master’s program. I created the world from scratch, including the structures, terrain, materials, lighting, effects, and cinematic presentation, with the foliage and statue sourced externally.
