This personal project was a visual experiment focused on enhancing mood and intrigue through cinematic effects. I used After Effects to add fake lighting, dust particles, and atmospheric overlays to existing footage, transforming a static scene into a more dramatic and immersive environment. The goal was to explore how subtle motion and visual FX can completely shift the emotional tone of a shot.
