ABOUT ME
Hello!! My name is Mahen, and I am a final-year diploma student in Design and Media, specialising in Visual Effects at Asia Pacific University.
I enjoy editing videos, visual effects, motion graphics, and traditional art. I love experimenting with various visuals. I love messing around with random ideas, collecting inspirations, and constantly crashing out when I open After Effects, Maya, or literally just any software in general.
I also love designing and creating things based on my imagination and bringing them to life. I believe that art is an amazing way to communicate and bring dreams and imaginations to life.
MY JOURNEY THROUGH DESIGN AND MEDIA
My collection of artworks that I have made from all of my classes throughout my time as a diploma student in this course. From traditional to digital art and 3D modelling.
SOFTWARES THAT RUIN MY SLEEP SCHEDULE
what is my final year project about?
I am working on a short film project titled "Vengeful Bite," which is about a university student who got ritually sacrificed and became a vengeful demon. This story is inspired by "Jennifer's Body," a popular movie in 2009. The visuals and storyline in the movie have inspired me to make one of my own and bring it to life. The duration of the trailer will be 2 to 3 minutes long.
MY PERSONAL NOTE
This course has been one hell of a journey for me. I started this course knowing very little about the art world, and now I'm over here compositing, editing, and designing and losing my mind over software issues at 3am. I've grown so much since then.
Learning how to use certain software is not the only thing. I have learnt how to tell stories visually, how to work under pressure, how to take and survive critiques, and most importantly, how to make things that actually just scream ME.
There is still a lot that I don't know, and I want to explore more of that. I'm excited as to what the future is holding for me. I'm beyond grateful for all of my lecturers for paving the way for me into the art world, and I hope I get to work on more projects like these in the next chapter of my life.
