After discussion with the team, I was responsible for modelling the character Noma, mapping and binding, post compositing and special effects for this project.

Aiming to get and career direction:

In this project, I hope to learn some of the ways of storytelling and audiovisual expression in a film that I can use in my future animations. I have always believed that a good animation film is not defined by its beautiful images or advanced technology, but by the content of the story and the methods in which it is narrated, so I hope that I will be working in the creation of animation rather than the production of animation.
