The Legend of Kalvelya

The Legend of Kalvelya is my completed 2020 BFA Thesis project.
It is an immersive narrative told through 3D and 2D animation and experienced in virtual reality or through 360° video.

Using elements of fantasy through the lens of the archetypal rebirth story, The Legend of Kalvelya is the origin of a magical land and the people who came to live there.

The story and its visual elements explore the concepts of creation, escapism, and how a shift in perspective can change everything. It is also a look into my personal journey with art and how the joy of creation allows me to overcome various obstacles in my life.

The Legend of Kalvelya places the viewer directly into a new and magical world. It allows them the wonder and momentary escape that a different reality can provide.

Join a friendly Enchanter as he tells you the story of his homeland, the mystical city of Kalvelya. Escape to a different reality as you are placed directly into this new and magical world and watch as its story unfolds around you.
