I was briefed to create an animation based around the history of Robert Burns, a storyboard based on Robert Burns and the impact he had on society, the storyboard was linear through time and developed within art style. I was given a soundtrack to work to.

Visual Style & Concept
I was commissioned to create a six-and-a-half-minute projection mapped piece for the Robert Burns Mausoleum during Northern Lights. The work wove together themes: Robert Burns' legacy, Dumfries' history—from the Industrial Revolution to World Wars and a royal visit—and abstract modern illuminations. I storyboarded and brought these eras to life using layered techniques: custom animation, historical references, and composited live footage. The piece culminated in a contemporary light display, connecting past to present, all choreographed to a bespoke soundscape.
