SOCIALS
Orbit was one of the 4 short films produced during out 4th semester in Film and Animation major in 2022. The story was inspired by my friendship with a friend that, soon after we graduated high school, traveled to study abroad.
This was my first experience directing a short film and producing a project in a bigger scale, which we had a very tight deadline to submit for class and manage a team with students from other terms. This project was essential for developing my project management, animation, and sound skills.
