5. It’s all just an Arcade
Animation and Motion Design
This short animation reimagines my educational path as a side-scrolling video game, drawing inspiration from the nostalgic world of Super Mario. Each environment represents a distinct chapter of my life; The mountains symbolize my formative years at Sanawar, a boarding school in the hills, the Red Fort marks my undergraduate studies in Delhi, the final stage captures my ongoing pursuit of a career in New York City.
Through this metaphor, I explore the parallels between education and gameplay both requiring strategic decision making, resilience through challenges, and continuous growth. As someone navigating a field where design wasn’t always valued or understood, this piece became a personal reflection on uncertainty, conviction, and creative evolution. It also features a small nod to Chelsea; my constant companion throughout this adventure.
