Duel

#Animation #Instruments_Related_Rigging 

#Live_Music_Animation #Directing

Duel is a live music battle animation short produced by StudioX. I pitched the project with storyboards, rig plan, and rigged instruments model to convince the committee. In production, I worked with the supervisor, Michael Parks, to direct the movie as the director. I also animated 15 shots to explore and establish the style. Instruments rigging and constrain plans are made by me, as well as solving rigging issues for other animators.

Facial Expression

#Animation #Facial_Animation #Expression #Lighting

I take professional facial expression animation class at 2018. I learned the system and principles of expression and expression change which helps me a lot in real life work. Facial is another language to let the audience know what happens inside character's mind. I really enjoy build up the detail of facial movement to make things really really work.

Lipsync

#Animation #Lipsync_Animation #Dialogue

#Environment_Modeling #Lighting

Lipsync is my another specialty, I actually enjoy polish the lipsync shot to make mouth and lip match dialogue well, and I also pay attension to body, not only body mechanic, but also body movement match the meaning of dialogue. In my opinion, dialogue is a chemestry of combining facial expression, body movement, and mouth / lip movement. Those elements will work together to make believable movement. I take care both big picture and details.

Loft Music Commercial

#Concept #Animation #Rigging #Modeling 

#Live_Music_Animation

A personal Freelance project for a local music education studio. The commercial is ideally to match their pop and rock nature. The concept of the story comes from famous on the road. Then, I modeled the environment, the pony car, and the environment, as well as instruments. Characters are low-poly because of budget and schedule which suit the whole idea and big picture very well. I also did a quick job of rigging them. Animation matches music notes, and I pay attention to body mechanic and variable movement of instruments playing.

Stormrunner is an exotic sporty car. When I was an Industrial Designer, I designed this beauty as a core exterior in an engineer company. The concept is combine the looking of beautiful streamline with the feeling of muscle and power. To get better handling, 50:50 weight balance is another goal to meet. Production of model, video and rendering is used for pre-investment presentation.

Jet Ride, Modelling

#Modeling #Industrial_Design #Rendering #Polygon

This ridable aircraft, Jet Ride, is a combination of motorcycle and jet. The description of the concept comes from a live-action project of Academy of Art University Storyboard department. I used my Industrial Designer and Engineer skills to come up with the final design. It has mini twin jet engines that take place the exhaust pipe of traditional bikes. Also, at the bottom, there are another pair of jet engines to let it fly. I finally bring it to 3D models.

Street Fight

#Animation #Camera_Layout #Lighting 

#Live_Action_Scene #Camera_Animation

I achieved this one when I was Graduate Student. Action is one of the topic. Camera language is another topic of this sequence. I use camera angle to help audience understand the situation of each person, this will make the scene comfortable to watch. I enjoy animate action scene.
