Hot Cocoa In a Wine Glass is all about how I feel when I listen to some very chill music looking at things that put me in a relaxing mood. I always imagine myself overlooking the city at night with lots of bright lights sitting in a comfy chair and drinking hot cocoa in a wine glass.

I took a few pieces I made from Software Instructions and decided to make a cinematic sequence using the unreal engine. It was extremely fun because you can set the camera to any specification so it felt like owning a very high quality camera to do whatever you want with it. I took each panel and turned them into image sequences and played the frames while also adding particle effects and a few camera transitions to make you feel like you're in a cubical room with the works.

Some of my inspirations for this work include various video games where there are impactful visuals in an enclosed space (Control, Affection), and Chris Ofili’s The Upper Room 1999–2002 which utilized an enclosed room with visuals and odors to create an experience for the viewer.
