Frames, Cinema & Visual Storytelling
Outside of building systems, I study cinematography, Japanese cel animation, and the psychology of color. Here is how I see the visual world.
Interactive Screening Reel
Spirited Away
Miyazaki treats silence as an active narrative material. In a world full of rapid-fire stimulation, courage in art is having the confidence to leave room for the audience to breathe.
Visual Principles & Influences
Cinematography & Scale
Anamorphic 2.39:1 framing, one-point perspective, and architectural symmetry that makes every frame feel deliberate.
Traditional Cel Animation
Hand-drawn watercolor backgrounds and clouds that carry physical weight, moisture, and shifting wind currents.
Kinetic & Pop-Art Craft
Breaking standard 3D photorealism with oil paint textures, comic misregistrations, and deliberate frame drops.
Emotional Color Grading
Using color temperature—warm amber twilights and melancholic blues—to communicate mood before dialogue begins.
