    paper Arrunche Sutra – Animated Digital Book Adaptation

    Arrunche Sutra is a creatively written book by Arturo Torres that explores human experiences and urban survival philosophies with humor and wit. I collaborated directly with Arturo and our creative team to develop a digital animated version of the book, bringing its pages to life with motion, music, and visual storytelling for a broader and more immersive digital audience.

    My Contributions:

    Directed and produced the animated adaptation of the book using professional 2D/3D animation tools.

    Designed and illustrated dynamic characters and abstract transitions reflecting the quirky tone and deep reflections of the book.

    Led storyboarding, animatic creation, and visual rhythm to ensure every frame complements the written narrative.

    Supervised visual effects, timing, and typography integration for seamless reading-animation synergy.

    Coordinated with voiceover artists and sound designers for enriched storytelling experience.

    Delivered the animation in high-resolution digital format for web, streaming, and multimedia publishing platforms.

    Tools Used:
    Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Spine2D, Blender, Premiere Pro, AI

    Outcome:
    The project successfully translated a literary work into an engaging animated experience, preserving the author’s voice while enhancing reader accessibility and enjoyment in the digital realm. It was praised for its originality, minimalist visual language, and impact on creative storytelling.
