My Journey
During my four years of study at Ringling College of Art and Design, I've had the opportunity to fully develop my skills and knowledge, while also contemplating the meaning of my existence and what the future holds. Now, with four years of experience under my belt, I'm excited to embark on a new chapter in my life!
Special Thanks

The Idea
01: Adapted Story: Poem
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is a lyric poem that expresses deep feelings about the beauty of nature. William Wordsworth was a well-known poet of the Romantic Era, which began at the beginning of the 1800s
With this idea in mind, I aimed to create a surreal and hazy animation that reflects the aesthetic of the poem. The overall tone of the animation is soothing, with accompanying vocals. To achieve this, I will combine 2D, 3D, and cel animation techniques. Although 3D will be used in this project, I will add a filter to make it look like 2D animation.
02: Identity-Motion Designer
In this concept, I'll emphasize my story 'How to be a Motion Designer' as the content to create a fast, energetic animation. With this idea, the lettering will become a shape in the animation. 2D animation will be the main subject in the video with some 2.5D animation. Abstract shapes will appear in the style frame transition part to help move the animation forward.
03: Identity-My Story
In this concept, I attempted to narrate my childhood through the lens of third-person storytelling.
Finally the third idea was chosen!
