Hi! My name is Klara. I am passionate about the creative aspects of animation, with a strong focus on storytelling, character design, and environment development. I find great fulfillment in shaping narratives and visually bringing worlds and characters to life.

Scents of Home

This project is a deeply personal expression — a story of finding home in the most unexpected places.

Transcript

The video starts by showing three lit candles and a young woman behind them, the young woman smells the first candle and is transported to a large orchard with fruit trees and a hammock. When the young woman smells the second candle she is transported to a square with colonial style houses. In the square there are fruit trees and an art exhibition, an atmosphere of celebration and festivity can be heard but no people can be seen. At the smell of the third candle the young woman is transported to a small beach with palm trees and rocks. At the end of the video there is a quote by Helen Keller “Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousand miles and all the years you have lived”

Design

Our BA Animation programme is one of the UK’s most forward-looking, industry-focused animation programmes. It combines a rich, practice-orientated mix of 2D, 3D and experimental animation with an emphasis on storytelling, character design, and immersive animation. Through a strong studio culture, our students develop and share skills across artistic direction, digital sculpting, industry-standard renderings, game design, visual effects, and innovative storytelling. The curriculum is designed to convey best practice in animation and a solid foundation for a career in the Creative Industries, with vocational skills development and student-led learning taking centre stage.
