Project Details

Working with director Harry Butt at Blinkink, Breathe Deeper unfolds as a psychedelic transformation narrative set within a shifting natural world. The team was small, so the work ran broad, across most of the film's sequences.

I led the world design and animation for the opening environment, the cave sequences and the nymph's growth, carrying through to the transformation and flight of the creature, including the dragonfly point-of-view performance animation. I designed and animated the rock-to-beach transition and the particle systems driving the dragonfly's movement.

Beyond shot work, I built character rigs used across the team and supported the 3D pipeline, solving technical problems as the environments and transformations grew more complex. I also worked on the edit and managed final render output under a tight schedule, holding continuity between sequences as the film came together.

Music Video

The film is one continuous metamorphosis: an environment that grows, a nymph that becomes a dragonfly, a world that keeps transforming into the next thing. Organic growth, fluid motion and saturated colour build a hallucinatory landscape that moves with the rhythm and expansion of the track, the visuals breathing in time with the song.
