Into the Looking Glass Part II: Forest of Doubts (Animatics)
This is a personal studio project: an AI-generated animatic using the traditional animation production workflow. The story is about Aria battling her inner doubts in the Forest of Doubts to face her greatest fear: the Queen of Dominion. The process starts with the story script and design pack, then proceeds to storyboarding and animatics. Images were developed using AI image-generation tools such as Nano Banana Pro; voice and music were developed using AI audio-generation tools such as Suno.

3D Visualisations for e-Learning modules in ITE
While working as a multimedia designer, I created these visualisations in 3DS Max and converted them to vector SWF for Adobe Flash. I implemented 3DS Max in the Flash production pipeline, saving about 120 man-hours per animator per year.
