The One Big Fight


2022 SVA Thesis project

The One Big Fight is my thesis film at SVA,
a 3D animated short film about two friends working on a design project.
They face many disagreements, which lead to a big fight.
Will they eventually learn to listen and be patient with each other?

Lighting tests







A glimpse of the forest

2022  Personal project




•Maya, Redshift, Substance Painter, Zbrush
•Nuke, After Effects







A glimpse of the forest is a realist-style practice.


I was fascinated by microphotography.
I got some ideas from Pinterest and created a picture with an animal resting on a mushroom.
I get some Quixel Megascans tree branch models.
Xgen and Megascan textures are used to create the moss.



Motion graphic




Ghosty            

OCT 2022 / C4D AE


This is a personal project.
I want to animate a cute ghost for Halloween.
Starting with some sketches, and I decided to animate
a ghost dancing with a headphone.
I worked in C4D for most of the 3D parts,then edited the short with After Effects.




Snowy Christmas

DEC 2022  /  Procreate AE

A vibrant digital Christmas card for my clients.

They wanted a colorful theme with snowflakes. I ran a few design tests before settling on the snow globe concept.
I enhanced the building details because the client liked the snow globe but wanted the card to seem cozier.








Happy Rabbit Year!     

Jan 2023 / AE

A digital animated card for clients to send during the Chinese new year.


I want to simplify the elements representing Luna new year and give it a more modern design.





The Diner




The diner is a realistic modeling project.
Inspired by the classic restaurants in the US, I decided to make an environment design.

• Maya, Substance Painter, Zbrush
• After Effects, Photoshop
• Render with Redshift
• Midjourney(for graphic designs)




Midjourney is a powerful tool that speeds up the graphic design process for my project.
I need some posters for the diner; Mid journey helps a lot.
The generated posters weren’t perfect, so I quickly fixed them in photoshop.









Logo Design


“Knowledge is like an ocean: neither has any end in sight.”





THE CLIENT

Project Fun Academy is a one on 1, online project-based
language learning program. The Project Fun Academy believes that
education can be fun. Students can enjoy studying knowledge by
developing personal projects with the instructor.

THE SOLUTION


We started with the idea of a whale jumping out of the water.
After a few stretches, I decided to add a smaller whale as a symbol for the student.
The giant whale is guiding the smaller whale, like 
teachers are instructing students in the ocean of knowledge.
