ABOUT

Project Description: Urban Bloom is a self-initiated VFX project exploring the intersection of nature and city life through a surreal lens. Using a real urban environment as the base plate, I integrated 3D assets and simulations to create a whimsical moment of spring appearing in the heart of the city — complete with cherry blossoms, floating bubbles, and soft magical lighting.

This short cinematic was designed as a creative escape — a vision of serenity and rebirth blooming in contrast with the urban chaos. The project blends photorealistic compositing with stylized fantasy, showing how VFX can turn an everyday street into a moment of poetic calm.
