Little Miss Gravestone’s
Absent Musing

Little Miss Gravestone’s Absent Musing is an interactive art piece by the artist Chiho Aoshima that Michael assisted on with DOTDOT Studio using the Unity game engine.

Gallery visitors can interact with the artwork by moving in front of the video artwork to trigger sound and movement of the characters. Michael’s contribution was to compose the animated 3D characters, layers of 2D images and sounds together to match the original 2D layout in the game engine, add movement and effects, all within a complicated overlapping 3 camera set up designed so elements could seamlessly move across the 3 monitors.
