Alice: A Watercolor Journey
2026
What if you could step inside a watercolor painting? Alice: A Watercolor Journey turns a large room into a single 360° canvas, projected across all four walls and the floor, which blend into one continuous space of 32,000 × 2,000 px in four sections.
Key characters such as Alice, the White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter were animated with classic hand-drawn animation, and that footage was then processed with AI to give it a watercolor quality. Visitors walk with Alice through the Hall of Doors, a mushroom forest, the Queen of Hearts' courtyard, a garden of singing flowers and the Mad Tea Party, with the Cheshire Cat appearing across the walls.
My role: Senior artist. I took part in developing the concept and co-led the project and the communication with the client. I then assembled the entire show in After Effects, bringing all the elements together and handling compositing and effects to give the whole piece a cohesive watercolor look across the full canvas.
Tools: After Effects
Main idea: Vasile Luchian.
