/ Info

"Secrets" is a poem by Lee-Anne Glendinning, reimagined as a 3D/CGI personal project developed over the past seven months following my previous animation, Computer Generation Imagery.

This has been my most ambitious piece in 2023, both in scope and direction. Midway through production, I faced creative challenges and periods of perfectionism, which led me to step back and take breaksultimately allowing space to refine ideas and develop new concepts.

I was responsible for creating the 3D environments, animations and garments, alongside the overall visual development. The project explores themes of complexity, immorality, and unease, with careful attention to composition, detail, and atmosphere in every frame.
