Here is my third year film at CalArts. I like watercolors, so this year's film, I made all the backgrounds in watercolor, as well as the peacock. Hope you will enjoy watching it!

Barbarians

Chinese Kings

Crystal Spider Women

In Surfing the Web class, taught by Maija Burnett, is asking to visualize "Internet" as an actual form. This is what I came up with, a crystal spider women. Internet makes me think of net that connects to each other, like a spider net.  So there must be a spider, with all those hands and legs to do all the crazy things. Also the spider is a female with long spider silk hairs, and is crystalized which allows her to transform to anything she wants.

Black Swan Title Sequence Project

Janine Chang and I did this for Maija's Flash class. This is the first time I'm using Flash to animate. I had some difficulties, but it all went through, and learned a lot. Thank you Maija.
Enjoy~!

Title Sequence Concept for the Black Swan

Here are some images I made for the Flash class project. We asked to do a short animation of a movie title sequence, and my group choose the Black Swan.

The first exercise I did at Lisa's Visual Development class. Expressing emotions through abstracted shapes (happy, passion, rage, sad, apathy, tranquility). Lisa said, the visual images should communicate to the audience in seconds. I think this is a great way to practice that.

"Firefly"

This is my second year film~! Thank you, all the CalArts faculty's help and support. I really enjoy the making process, full of excitement and struggle. I learned a lot by making one. I also find out my weakness. So, I will improve myself and make a much better film next year~!
