I produced a one-minute, looping animation depicting an inviting, roadside diner set in the American pacific northwest and integrates elements from the story “The Silver Pines Diner.” The piece was designed as an atmospheric background visual to accompany the client’s narrated story.

At the client’s request, the artwork adopts a stylised aesthetic reminiscent of classic Japanese animation, particularly Studio Ghibli. I achieved this effect primarily through custom shader work, complemented by carefully tuned post-processing effects and additional shader enhancements to evoke a hand-painted, cinematic feel.
