Film, Video, and Animation
I’ve always been passionate for video as a medium, whether for storytelling or essay purposes. I am a big fan of animation, especially hand drawn and motion graphics, and more recently 3D.
An in-depth look at the creation process of
POV: You’re a Karamatsu Girl - 3D animated music video
Made for IAT 343 (Animation) as my very first dive into 3D modelling and animation, taken at SFU in Spring 2023. I was project lead, director, and concept/storyboard artist. The primary character model was modelled, rigged, and textured by me, including all facial animations as hand-drawn 2D animations. The majority of shots in the last third of the video were animated by me. This project was a huge exercise for me as a team lead and director and pushed me to my limits of art both 2D and 3D, though primarily focused on 3D modelling/animation.

I’m At Soup - Kinetic Typography

To the Otter Who Snuck Into the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Garden and Ate All the Koi
Made for IAT 344 (Moving Images) and entered into the Vancouver Poet Laureate competition, taken at SFU in Spring 2023. I was co-director, storyboard artist, animator, visual effects, and editor. This project primarily focused on 2D animation, visual effects, and editing. Click through below to see a more in-depth detailed breakdown of the creation process.
Karamatsu-san: Maboroshi Wink Opening - Animated MV
I created this fan personal project in the span of about 5 days, start to finish, to celebrate one of my favorite cartoon characters from the anime Osomatsu-san. It is a hand drawn recreation and reanimation of an existing opening theme sequence from the show, but with all assets and animations drawn and created by me from scratch, with the exception of the first 5 seconds. The comparison between my work and the original video can be seen here.
Kunshi Ayauku Mo Chikauyore (Trifect Remix) - Animated MV
I worked with music producer Trifect, who made this remix of my favorite opening theme from the anime Osomatsu-san for my birthday, to create this music video. Everything- art, animation, assets- was created by myself.
My Hopes and Dreams Entering Adulthood
Made for IAT 202 (New Media Images) Project 1, taken at SFU in Fall 2020. This was shot on the limited equipment I had at the time- an iPhone SE- and I chose to draw and animate the main character to work around how this was a 100% solo project.
A Cup of Coffee, Please.
Written, storyboarded, directed, and edited by myself for IAT 202 (New Media Images) Project 2, taken at SFU in Fall 2020. I worked with Jina Lee as my producer to create this while abiding by the then-newly implemented COVID lockdown restrictions, shooting entirely within the confines of my own apartment with a cheap green screen, compositing everything in post with Premiere and animating in After Effects.
