Volver

Video Projection for Volver, Walt Disney Modular Theater. 4-channel projection design featuring a large-scale laundry screen. Process included screen design, fabrication, 3D mockup, animation, and applied ML model integration.

Process

Most of the production time went into budgeting, fabricating physical prototypes and screens, and coordination — the content itself was produced within 2–3 weeks.
