This is breakdown of a collaboration with the University of St.Thomas to create a unique experience for the holidays that combined technology and theology.

When I started concepting, I took the same approach to making an animation for this app. I see app development, specifically augmented reality, as a medium of storytelling or creating a cinematic experience. So the practices of making a mood board, gathering reference, and concepting, are all paramount. Once a look and feel/concept are established, I'm off to the races to make assets, materials, and into the engine for lighting and full. This project was a fun challenge and collaboration. Thanks to my teammates behind the code and Unity curtain at FuelFX for framing the art in functionality and a shout out to my coworker for putting the presentation of these stills together. Look forward to re-releasing this for xmas.
