·Research: Nisbat road, also known as chamberlain road is currently Lahore’s biggest and busiest roads and hosts one of the largest camera markets. Back in 1947, during partition it was one of Lahore’s finest residential areas, almost entirely Hindu. After partition, most of the abandoned homes were occupied by Amritsari refugees. This was the upscale hindu neighborhood developed and owned by the hindus exclusively. Dyal Singh college and Dyal Singh public library located here are still operational under their original names.

4. Identify potential hazards; who could be affected; how they could be affected; and list the control measures that will reduce the risk. University H&S policies can be found here.
Type of injury or health problem that might result i.e. cuts, bruises, fractures, electric shock, burns etc.
List the control measures you will put in place to reduce risks from the hazards to an acceptable standard
Control measures should ultimately reduce the overall risk. Do not purely rely upon providing Personal Protective Equipment or rely on just ‘being careful’

By blending these influences, the film communicates the universal struggle of holding on too tightly to the past and the beauty of emotional release. Symbolism of Balloons and Strings : Reference...
Introduction For my final VFX task, I created a VFX Showreel, which serves as a visual portfolio showcasing my skills, creative journey, and technical expertise in visual effects and post-production. As a filmmaker and VFX artist, having a strong showreel is crucial. It acts as a first impression for potential clients, studios, and collaborators, demonstrating what I can achieve through past projects and creative storytelling. My showreel features the best of my work, compiling multiple VFX projects, compositing work, motion graphics, and cinematic effects, demonstrating my ability to enhance storytelling through post-production mastery. Thoughts Behind the Process Rather than just showcasing random shots, I wanted my showreel to have a flow and narrative, making it feel more like a cinematic montage than just a technical compilation. The goal was to make it immersive, engaging, and visually striking. I took inspiration from VFX-heavy filmmakers and editors like: Peter McKinnon –...
Concept & Objective This project aimed to create a visually engaging and VFX-enhanced video showcasing the product's sleek design and cutting-edge features. I aimed to make the video feel futuristic, professional, and cinematic using advanced visual effects. I shot the footage using a Sony A7III mounted on a tripod for stability and precise framing. The entire VFX pipeline was executed in DaVinci Resolve , where I implemented motion tracking, relighting, compositing, text animations, and more . VFX Techniques Used 1. Motion Tracking & UI Integration One of the most crucial elements in this video was the motion tracking of the phone/product display to integrate digital UI overlays. Point and planar tracking were used to attach UI elements onto the product's screen, ensuring they moved perfectly with real-world motion. This effect created the illusion that the phone was actively displaying live data. Masking and feathering were applied to blend these digital overl...
