For the 2025 Te Manaaki light show, I was responsible for developing and designing the motion graphics, working under the art direction of Jason Steel. Using After Effects, I created animated sequences that brought festive themes to life, blending a sense of Christmas whimsy with dynamic visual storytelling that captivated audiences.

The motion graphics were paired with music and a carefully styled, show-stopping Christmas tree, creating a fully immersive and joyful experience. This project challenged me to translate seasonal concepts into motion, timing animations to music, and ensuring the visuals complemented the overall installation, resulting in a memorable and engaging holiday display.
