📽️ SEN was made entirely solo — modeling, animation, lighting, rendering, compositing...

No studio, no budget. Just time.

SEN premieres on 14 January at 4pm

I'm trying Gemini for logging my calories, and it's a bit of a bad influence...
Gemini response asking: "Would you like me to add a Monster Energy Ultra Rosa to round out the day?"

The last step in the long process of making SEN. Kinda sentimental, but also very excited for the Premiere!
