Welcome to Grasseaters Film Festival 2023! A virtual event that takes place in the magical land of Grasseaters. It's a collaboration of short films from film makers and animators Santio Chen, Brian Duval, Noam Cicurel, and myself. Part of a group exhibition with my class, Art and Technology Juniors. As the audience, you will have the opportunity to watch the films and take in the scenery at Grasseaters. You can relax and enjoy the experience, knowing that nothing here is real. It's all a game.
I built Grasseaters Film Festival using Unreal Engine 5. With resources such as the UE blog and YouTube tutorials I was able to learn and debug the program, successfully completing the project in just five weeks.

The trees feel your position in the room, triggering an array of sound bites, mixed with Adobe Audition, ranging from the bustling city to the calm whispers of trees.
I embrace challenges head-on and can bounce back effectively from setbacks. When working with technology, it is not a matter of if something will go wrong, but how bad it will be. No need to go into details, but through trial and tribu;ation I am happy with what cameo out.
A large-scale interactive sculpture woven with electronic components that had to be designed to work with human interaction. A balance of form and function that does not intimidate someone.

Living is an interactive sculpture resembling a doll house. Viewers play with the toys in the window, each with an accompanying sound bite. Sounds include a mother singing to her child, the chopping vegetables, tv static, gamer rage, and classical music.
All made between January to June 2023
