about
For our senior thesis, Seogene Lee, Doris Huang, and I devoted 2 years to producing our 3D animated short film, Memory Lane. The story is inspired by Seogene's grandmother, who suffered from a traumatic brain injury resulting in chronic dementia. Serving as a dedication piece, the film metaphorically touches on the strength of familial bonds despite the aftermath of memory loss. Our purpose is to bring attention to and emphasize the resilience rooted in cherished memories amid potential traumatic experiences.

While brainstorming ideas, I wanted to incorporate elements of our film into the title, "Memory Lane," without giving away too much or too little about its contents; that ended up being the clock hands and the gears (as our film is majorly set inside of a clock), and the faded/rustic edges (dementia).
The font is also hand drawn. Below you can find a still of the film where the logo is first introduced alongside some of the original ideas!
