Burnout is an animated short film created as my capstone project during my Bachelor’s degree at ASU. Collaborating with a talented team of women over two semesters, we brought this story to life, which premiered at the 2024 ASU Animation Showcase.

I oversaw the ideation and creation of the 3D environment and all assets using Autodesk Maya. I textured them in a painterly style with Adobe 3D Substance Painter and animated the sequences in Maya, ensuring a cohesive visual language throughout the film.

Working on this project was very special to me, as it was my first experience creating an animated film. I gained a deep understanding of the animation pipeline and the amount of dedication and craft that goes into each stage, from concept to final render.

The film was celebrated for its heartfelt narrative and artistic quality, marking a proud milestone in my academic and creative journey.
