Razing Liberty Square, the 2023 documentary by Academy Award-nominated director Katja Esson, explores an iconic Miami district in the midst of the multimillion-dollar redevelopment effort that eroded its unique character and shifted its core demographic.
The companion VR piece presents a glimpse into what it was like growing up in Liberty Square 1940s Miami made possible thanks to accounts by former Liberty Square residents such as Dr. Enid C. Pinkney.
I was responsible for recreating objects based on photographs provided by former residents to the production team as well as adapting character designs by Rea Goldson and Nicholas Dimas into models. Texturing was done in a way to adhere to the Unity shader applied within the project.
