Role: Director, Photographer, Animator
Search on Shorts told the story of Yassan, an artist from Tokyo who used GPS and Google Earth to write a special message to his girlfriend. I directed a small team to recreate Yassan’s incredible 6 month journey in a 4-day shoot.
02 – Process
I operated the drone and composited footage with motion moments using Google Earth Studio and After Effects. I compose shots with motion design in mind.
