VISUAL DEVELOPMENT
is the key to any animation production.
The energy I invest at the start of every project in creating high-quality imagery defines its own artistic aesthetic.
Even if a project never sees the light of day, the work invested in the development stage becomes an instrumental inspiration for future projects.
Here is a selection of said work.

Thus, Iris is sent back in time with the hope of returning with a greater understanding of herself. But with her frail physical and mental condition, returning to the past could pose a significant risk to her present.
