Clouds of Mountain/The Giant Rabbit

This is a 3D animation project currently in progress. I have completed the character design, storyboard design, as well as scene and color concept development.

The project explores an immersive narrative centered on mountain climbing and self-discovery, featuring dynamic landscapes and a character-driven journey.

The existing character and environment designs were developed under the project titled Clouds of Mountain. However, the project has recently evolved into a new version, The Giant Rabbit, which may replace or fully redefine the earlier direction.

Does this Sounds Like Me

“Sound” tells the story of a protagonist who is consumed by an AI monster they created, with sound serving as a key narrative and structural element throughout the piece. The animation explores the tension between artificial intelligence and self-identity, questioning whether the pursuit of perfection may come at the cost of losing one’s authentic self.

The script, character designs, storyboard, and environment designs have already been completed. The project is currently in development, with plans to potentially produce it as a fully animated work in the future.

Pumpkin’s Death

This is a 3D animation project. I have completed the 2D character design, storyboard design, and environment and color concept design, along with an edited storyboard video with music.

The story follows a pumpkin-loving puppy and his beloved pumpkin, exploring themes of life, death, and friendship. This project is currently paused, and no further development is planned for the foreseeable future.
