A little bit about how

Hi. I'm Cristiana and I've been eclectically working on creative projects since 2006.
My background is in classical arts, having studied analogue graphics and etching in Tonitza Art Highschool.

After four years in UNATC (National University of Film and Theatre), under the Film and TV Image class, I became a licensed cinematographer.
Along the way I've completed a Copywriting course.
My first hands-on contact with 3D happened in 2023, during two awesome training programmes: Epic's Animation Bootcamp and Animation Fellowship.

I was hoping to refine my filmmaker skills so I'm currently enrolled in UNATC for their amazing Animation Master's Degree programme.

Having said all this, I have successfully art-directed, colorized, been cinematographer on and produced very varied projects, starting from communist-era movie reenactment - to underwater photography and video sessions, to short Youtube videos, to feature animations. You will find all of these below. I have also gladly collaborated on external projects (where my services as producer were not required), as illustrator, set photographer (sets of commercials, short and feature films, documentaries), boom operator and, on rare occasions, sound editor.

Having worn many types of hats during media production, during the projects I produce I empathize deeply with my team and appreciate an honest and respectful work environment.


and why
I have a growth and learning mindset, which I'm putting entirely in the service of creating something that might be meaningful.

THE WORK

Animation feature film in the style of a motion graphic story. My contribution helped put the director's vision into animation,
from script to deliverables.

3D 100% PERSONAL ANIMATION

After having had no previous experience with DCCs, and delving into Unreal in the summer of 2023, these are some of the clips I've personally developed, either during Epic's awesome Animation Bootcamp (2023) or Animation Fellowship (2023), or in my spare time.

Animation Bootcamp - 2023

Animation/Effects test for short animation series - 2023

Manual facial animation test - 2023

Animation Fellowship - 2023

Doodling - 2024

Element integration, lighting, animation and editing - 2023

Environment test using Megascans and some VFX - 2023

My long standing dreams for my own stories' movie creation seem to have received their answer in the form of Unreal 5. Having had no previous experience with DCCs, taking part in Epic's Animation Bootcamp and, later on, Animation Fellowship, felt like vast horizons of possibilities opened up.

As of March 2024 I am producing a faith-based feature film entirely in Unreal, for the SDA church.

In parallel, whenever time allows it, I'm solo developing a sci-fi series about a mother on a (futile) quest to resurrect her daughter.
