ANIMATION PROJECTS
Pumpkin’s Death
This is a 3D animation in progress. I have finished the character design, storyboard design, and scene and color concept design. I also finished the edited storyboard video with music.
The story focuses on the journey of a pumpkin-loving puppy and his beloved pumpkin, exploring themes of life, death, and friendship.
Clouds of Mountain
This is a 3D animation in progress, and I have finished the character design, storyboard design, and scene and color concept design.
This project delves into an immersive story about mountain-climbing and self-discovery, featuring dynamic landscapes and character-driven narratives.
Deep in the Mirror
This is a finished 3D horror short animation. I did character modeling, rigging, and animation. Based on the video scenes I shot in real life, I did camera tracking and compositing, and finally rendered the entire project.
As for the goal of this project, all I wanted to do was a scene where a monster crawled out of my bathroom mirror, and I think that goal was achieved.
Just Dancing
This is a finished 3D animated short film. In this project, I did character modeling, rigging, scene modeling and animation and rendering.
The goal of this animation project is very targeted. Through this short film, I hope to practice my ability to make animation in the whole process, and exercise my animation skills by imitating the dance. This is also the animation I submitted at the WVU Short Film Festival.
Does this Sounds Like Me
“Sound” tells the story of a protagonist consumed by an AI monster they created, with sound as the final puzzle piece. The animation explores the tension between AI and self-identity, questioning whether pursuing perfection risks losing our authentic selves.
