How can animation express the way memory feels, not just how it looks? 
By transforming detailed rotoscoping into fluid, repetitive abstraction, "ghosts of your whispered words linger" draws on theories of Proustian cinema as a “memory text.” Rather than relying on linear narrative, rhythm and emotional atmosphere mirror the instability and nonlinearity of recollection, framing memory as an ongoing emotional reconstruction rather than a fixed archival record.
DARKROOM: USC Animated Film - Erica Garay.  An animated film completely animated and composited by me, focusing on a a shy photographer who fantasizes about a witch girl loitering outside her house, falling deeper and deeper into unhealthy obsession.  For compositing, I used camera-inspired graphic design, color grading, and lighting-edge treatments tailored to shifting light scenarios to support mood and storytelling.
