A short interactive story about two childhood friends reuniting.

This personal project involves a complete redesign of the UI in the game Halo. I have approached the task with concern to the kind of game Halo is, how it plays, what kind of objectives the player has to complete, they type of progression systems and so on, to create a UI that I would consider appropriate and enhancing to the experience.

A short film with no dialogue, focused on delivering a simple story with a cinematic look. This is a solo project, where I was responsible for all aspects of production (except acting in the film).

Planning

• Wrote a script for the film, to craft a character and arc to be represented in the movie, with careful consideration towards pacing.
• Made storyboards to reference during filming.

Direction and Filming

• Employed imagery techniques (such as the rule of thirds), as well as other effects, such as depth of field, to give the image a cinematic look that fits with the atmosphere described in the script.
• Planned and executed shots (on location) accordingly to ensure visual continuity in the film.

Editing

• Employed cuts and transitions to pace the film accordingly, and generate the desired emotional effect of the sequence, using Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Customized color grading across various scenes to achieve a more cinematic feeling, using Adobe Premiere Pro.

Sound Design

• Carefully selected, modified where needed, and applied sounds in the film, such as foley SFX, background noise, and music, using Ableton Live and Audacity, to create a convincing presentation.
