The Brief

Build a scientifically accurate world across 1940s India, spanning distinct architectural characters shaped by different cultures, cities, and moments in time.

The Work

I worked across the Art Department in research, sketching, moodboarding, technical drawings, and renderings, before being promoted to Assistant to the Production Designer. The work centered on building a visually accurate world of mid twentieth century India from the ground up.

Process
From concept to construction
Every major set began as a 3D model long before it was ever built, letting the full art department test scale, sightlines, and mood before a single wall went up.
Concept & Set Renders
Early spatial studies used to plan furniture layout, lighting, and blocking ahead of the physical build.
