Animated Drama Sets - The Way Of Love Animation & LED Design Lead - team of 10
 
The Story: Two timelines, Rumi and Shams in 13th-century Konya, and two present-day flatmates finding their Guru. One argument: love and longing are unchanged across centuries.
 
The Challenge: Same stage furniture across both timelines. The sets had to move the audience between eras without contradicting what was physically on stage. Every environment designed twice.
 
Process: Script first. 22 LED cues, 10+ environment designs, each mapped to a scene and emotional register. Historical sets fact-checked against Konya's architecture and Sufi visual culture.
 
Output: Performed live on LED stage screens twice. Further shows planned.
 
Role: Animation & LED Design Lead · Team: 10 · Tools: After Effects, Photoshop, Midjourney
