In this project, my role involved overseeing key aspects, with a specific focus on 3D simulations and video editing. My contributions ensured that the final product met the desired standards of quality and clarity, successfully bringing the project manager vision to life.

Details of 3D Simulations:
In the 3D simulation area, my tasks included creating models, applying the visual style outlined by the art director, and simulating physical behaviors to achieve a lifelike representation. I ensured that the animations were fluid, visually engaging, and aligned with the project’s objectives. This required a keen attention to detail and the use of tools like Cinema 4D Mograph to produce high-quality, realistic results.

Details of Video Editing:
As part of my video editing responsibilities, I was in charge of assembling, enhancing, and finalizing the video content for both desktop and mobile platforms. This included color correction and ensuring the overall flow of the video was smooth and engaging. My goal was to create a cohesive final product that not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations.
