In the Garden- SCAD Thesis Film

This was my final thesis project as partial completion of my Master’s degree in Visual Effects at SCAD. As memories of the past fade and are often lost to time or disaster, it is important to preserve those recollections in some form or fashion. My thesis was centered around the topic of using visual effects techniques and cinematic language to recreate and reimagine memories. Inspired by personal childhood memories of a place that no longer exists, I created a short film exploring sweet nostalgic moments of a young girl as she spends a warm summer afternoon playing in her grandparents’ garden.

About me

I am deeply fascinated by art, programming and everything in between. As a technical artist, I seek to apply my skills in the fields that live between my two passions.

Even outside of my chosen profession, I love creating. I enjoy spending my time indulging my many curiosities through handcrafts like sewing, crochet, and alike, as well as drawing and painting. Additionally, I love tinkering with electronics, finding ways to recycle the old but still functional parts. I love nature and whatever garden I can maintain. While I aspire to have a lush backyard garden in future, for now I take care of the herbs and flowers on my balcony patio.
