Attic Reverie

A young girl wanders into the attic only to stumble upon a collection of eclectic items that come to life. An old chair, a photo album, a board game, sleeping bag, and a chest guide our protagonist through a world of wonder.Attic Reverie is a student produced, created, and edited fashion film featuring a senior collection by Allison Folger.

I had the great honor to edit this short 60 second film. I was tasked to create something eerie, whimsical, and a nostalgic. Tapping into a perspective of a childlike figure I had to transform this short minute into something impactful. Using a combination of video treatments and motion graphics I was able to achieve a glitchy and slightly ‘dusty’ film-like quality.

‘Attic Reverie’ went on to become a 7x film festival select as well as accumulating 5 awards in areas like Best Student Film, Best Fashion Concept, & Best Experimental in the super short category.
