About the Project: A large-scale cinematic adaptation of the ancient Indian epic, Ramayana follows Prince Rama's journey through exile, the abduction of Sita, and his confrontation with Ravana. The first installment of a two-part saga brings the mythological world to life through elaborate production design, live-action filmmaking, and visual effects.

My Contribution: Working with DNEG's art department, I assisted in developing Virtual Art Department (VAD) asset packs, researching historical and visual references, and reviewing scripts, storyboards, and previs sequences. I also supported prop and blueprint development, collaborating with the design team on practical set elements and production execution.
