CHARACTER ANIMATION REEL
SHOT BREAKDOWN
All animation done in Maya.
This reel is focused on character animation.
Please scroll down for a reel of my advertising showreel!
1. FREE RANGE VFX LIPSYNC — an animation test I did while completing a mentorship at Free Range VFX. The audio is pulled from an existing Ngena advertisement. I was responsible for previs/layout and animation.
2. LEOPARD WALK — a personal project I completed in January 2023. I focused on capturing the leopard's weight and mechanics. Rig by Truong CG.
3. SHATTERED — a senior thesis film by Nelson Mai, Tiantian (Yuetian) Zhang, and myself. I was the co-director, lead animator, lead compositor, editor (animatic, previsualization, and layout), and producer; I was also responsible for prop rigging and cloth simulation assistance.
4. WORK IN PROGRESS — a work-in-progress personal project I am working on. I wanted to tackle an animation that is relevant to me as a person. I love cats, even though I am allergic. After I drew storyboards, filmed video reference, and did a basic block, I reached out to my Rise Up Animation mentor for feedback. She helped me sharpen the story and shorten the piece. Thanks for watching!

ADVERTISING ANIMATION REEL
SHOT BREAKDOWN
All animation done in Maya.
This reel is a compilation of my currently released client advertising work.
1. FREE RANGE VFX LIPSYNC — an animation test I did while completing a mentorship at Free Range VFX. The audio is pulled from an existing Ngena advertisement. I was responsible for previs/layout and animation.
2. PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION — This is a 10-second animation I completed for an AR Lens project. I first conceived and thumbnailed the animation to determine what I needed to model and rig. Then I optimized the model I was given, modeled new assets, rigged it all up, and put some animation on it!
3. GOOGLE FLUTTER FORWARD — a fun little animation I completed at HOPR!
4. GOOGLE CHROME DEVELOPERS — one other animator and I completed previs/layout for all the CG aspects of the video. This was for Google Chrome Developer's 2022 year-in-review video. This was also my first time completing match move.
Thanks for watching! <3
