'CYP360' is a fully developed interactive application consisting of 360-degree videos of popular sites and
attractions across 6 main districts in Cyprus. Each video is laid out in a user-friendly manner through 3D maps
with clickable, animated location markers. Users are able to look around the videos as much as they please,
while also educating themselves about each presented site through graphics and information panels visible on
the videos' interfaces. A brand logo was designed and created using Photoshop and Maya.
Example 2: "23" Film Trailer for Audio Visual Post-Production Module
Pre-production consisted of creating the script, storyboards and choosing actors. Production consisted of
filming all the shots needed with a Sony FS7 camera in all the desired locations. Post-production entailed
editing and assembling the footage using Premiere Pro and designing the motion graphics in After Effects.
Audio and dialogue was created in Logic Pro and synced in Premiere Pro.
