As a student enrolled under Lasalle College of the Art's Diploma in Broadcast Media, Zetabelle tactfully utilized the school as a creative platform to weave her fascination with all things pop culture into her work, - Aligning her passion with her profession. This is what she believes paved the way for the two Lasalle Administered scholarships she had been granted with in 2020 and 2023 respectively.

Film Work
Jurong Wes Anderson (2022)
LKY 100, The AI Audition (2023)
With a seamless blend of pastel hues and attention to symmetry, Zetabelle Arthur was able to turn Singapore's metropolis cityscape into a picturesque film inspired by the likes of Director, Wes Anderson. In her 2022 film, 'Jurong Wes Anderson' her intentional play on colours and eye for detail crafted a distinct and consistent mood throughout the film and became the corner stone for the film's overall Wes Anderson allure.
As the lighting designer and key grip in director, Urich Lau's, 'LKY 100, The AI Audition (2023),' Zetabelle, once again, came through with her eye for colour and design, imbueing each scene with it's own unique tone while staying true to the audition premise of the film. The result, a display of vibrant neons that artfully broke up the negative space of the audition floor.
