The Cheshire Cat was a natural alignment with ideas of vision and colour, and found its form in the swirling diffusion of ink in water. The evolution of the character is seen above, with the production version at right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2fee74c3c16ae3e3d3d855/1679586014269-JDNOFE0WF0443Z7S8CI3/flowers.png My Work - Mixed Reality: Waking Wonderland - ENVIRONMENT DESIGN: THE GARDEN (Copy) ENVIRONMENT DESIGN: THE GARDEN Our environments reimagined iconic Wonderland through an immersive, experiential lens. The Garden of Live Flowers (seen above in early concepting (left) and final production (right) plays on scale and colour, rising up around viewers as they navigate the space. Below, we see the evolution of Alice’s Drawing Room from Through the Looking Glass, where reflections lead to surreal, parallel worlds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2fee74c3c16ae3e3d3d855/1679585849691-PVUELFORNPP3YBBFVT5R/library.png My Work - Mixed Reality: Waking Wonderland - RESULTS (Copy) RESULTS The experience is currently live at Illuminarium in Toronto, where it has been embraced by audiences of all ages. https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2fee74c3c16ae3e3d3d855/f50dbd74-6e44-4f29-a9aa-73b8d166af38/playlist.m3u8 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2fee74c3c16ae3e3d3d855/d48c6f16-54d1-4d50-850c-de5dc78192ec/WonderlandPoster_horizontal.jpg My Work - Mixed Reality: Waking Wonderland My Work - Mixed Reality: Waking Wonderland https://martyflanagan.ca/my-work/ai-motion-reel monthly 0.5 2026-11-13 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2fee74c3c16ae3e3d3d855/9e56db2b-f73a-451b-a4ae-dd7131ece9b1/playlist.m3u8 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2fee74c3c16ae3e3d3d855/b7b4fd0e-f0e7-4690-afeb-3eb71f4b2213/krea_4436_483d9663-e79d-48c6-b518-5c3c9ac88ceb-image.webp My Work - AI Motion Reel: Bird's Eye View A sampling of my motion work in AI, with most shots originally generated for broadcast TV.
