Ready for work
Surriya is ready for their next project!
I designed a cinematic storytelling workflow that transforms a single emotional idea into a complete short-film production system — from concept to final edit-ready sequence.
It is built around one core emotional moment:
A young man achieves his dream job and rushes to share the news with his father, only to discover that his father has passed away moments before he arrives.
Instead of treating this as a story, the workflow converts it into a repeatable cinematic engine for emotional filmmaking.
The system breaks down any emotional idea into a structured production pipeline:
Emotional intelligence analysis (core emotion, conflict, subtext)
Character psychology mapping (behavior over exposition)
5-phase cinematic narrative structure
Shot-by-shot visual storyboard design
AI-ready image prompt generation per frame
Sound design and silence mapping for emotional control
Editing timeline for final video assembly
The goal is to enable creators to turn simple human emotions into cinematic short-form films using a consistent, reusable system — not by writing stories, but by engineering emotional experiences.

An emotional animated short film about Alzheimer’s and the quiet tragedy of fading memories.
A father does not recognize his son at all. He simply notices a young man standing in front of him, happy about a promotion. Sensing the joy, he congratulates him and offers a warm hug — not as a father, but as a kind stranger sharing the moment. After the embrace, he gently asks, “Who are you?”
Even if he cannot feel the fatherly emotion anymore, the moment is still precious. Sometimes love exists silently, without recognition. It reminds us that even when memories fade, these small human connections remain meaningful — and we should preserve them in our own beautiful memories.
All frames are hand-drawn in IBIS Paint and animated using CapCut, with final assembly and editing completed in CapCut Video Studio.

🎧 An app that doesn’t want kids to stare at the screen.
Screen time has become one of the biggest challenges in childhood today. Most kids’ apps compete for attention — brighter colours, louder sounds, longer watch time.
Little Listeners was built to do the opposite. It’s an audio-first kids’ storytelling app designed to help parents reduce screen time.
The app currently includes 13 audio stories, stored permanently using You base, with more content planned over time. Stories include princess tales, alien adventures, science stories, and moral narratives.
This project is intentionally minimal, because sometimes the best design choice is knowing when to step back.

2D Animator | Medical & Educational Explainer Videos
Hi,
I am a beginner freelancer but an experienced 2D animator with over 1.5 years of experience creating storytelling animations for my YouTube channel, Miral’s Haunting Diaries.
Recently, I created an animated explainer video on the side effects of SARMs and steroids, simplifying complex health topics through clear visuals and engaging motion design. My goal was to make the information educational, impactful, and easy to understand.
I specialise in explainer, storytelling, and educational animations, managing the full process — from story-boarding and animation to editing and audio syncing.
Though I’m new to freelancing, I bring experience, creativity, and a passion for making knowledge come alive through animation.
