DEVELOPMENT

DESIGN

On Downtown Train, I led the set design, lighting, and animation work to bring the short’s emotional tone to life. I began by creating storyboards and animatics to establish the pacing, camera flow, and visual rhythm of the film.

I designed and lit the environment to reflect the subtle mood shifts in the story. I also rigged and animated the characters. I animated environmental elements and the camera itself to keep scenes feeling dynamic and grounded.

I used over-the-shoulder shots to focus on the main character’s perspective of the girl and a signature wide shot on the platform with both characters to show change throughout the narrative.
