Card Maze was my first assignment in the M.Sc. Design and Digital Media program at the University of Edinburgh.

For the assignment, I was given a playing card deck that supposedly belonged to a secret pirate game syndicate in Edinburgh. My task was to create an animation using this object while working within the theme of SynCity.

I imagined the cards as living beings—dancing and collapsing in response to a geometric rhythm that still allowed them the agency to choose their place of landing.

I created this animation using Maya. It was my first time working with the software and producing animation at this level.
