Despite animation being one of my core design disciplines, the process still presented significant hardships, posing both formidable challenges and consuming extensive time. To realise my envisioned outcomes, I found myself engaged in extensive self-education efforts. While my primary tool was Adobe After Effects, some intricate visuals necessitated my rapid acquisition of Blender skills in a short amount of time, so as to execute a specific vision. Additionally, there were instances where I had to explore the translation of certain three-dimensional elements through a two-dimensional technique. This intricate and arduous process proved to be a substantial undertaking. 

Through this journey, I gleaned that in design, resilience, adaptability, and readiness to learn are the keys to overcoming intricate challenges and achieving innovative solutions. It taught me that stepping out of my comfort zone, even when it seems impossible, can lead to a broader skill set, and more importantly, unexpected creative breakthroughs.

In consonance with the auditory narration, a soundscape was thoughtfully crafted, interweaving various elements to accompany and augment the narrative, forming a holistic auditory experience. Specifically, the layers include ambient sounds that harmonised with the visual motifs, soft melodic compositions that were strategically chosen to evoke the intended emotions and atmospheres, and the deliberate integration of sound effects (SFX) to accentuate pivotal moments within the experience.
