At the forefront of merging art with technology, my journey as a 3D Animator at Savannah College of Art and Design has been about pushing the boundaries of storytelling in the Animation. Partnering with Epic Games and RedKulture, our team crafted a character-driven music concert experience, harnessing the power of Unreal Engine for immersive cinematics and character animation. The drive to enrich users' experiences through innovative animation and motion capture is what propels my work. Guided by mentors at MAKE, I’ve honed my skills to captivate audiences on social media platforms, blending narrative with visual artistry. Working on large interdisciplinary animation studio projects like The Last Dungeon and Tall Wall, I combined my knowledge and skills with the demands of actual shots production and pipeline.
Education shapes my creative approach, with my ongoing MFA studies in Animation (include Modeling, Rendering, Texturing, Lighting... at SCAD refining my craft. My graphic design foundation from Jiangnan University underpins my understanding of visual communication, which I apply in creating engaging content.
I really love the feeling of challenging problems and progressing with team to create something incredible, and make artwork change the viewers or even influence them in some way. At the same time, the relationships and connections built between team members make me feel alive. I’m doing the right things and helping others right now.
The most important thing about animation for me is that it's educational rather than entertaining, and animation is not childish ! ! ! To use my favorite sentence to describe what animation is: Animation is not alive, it certainly needs to burn the animator's life to get life！！
No matter how far I have come, I feel very placid and natural after the moment I set foot on the animation major. I think the life I have prepared during this period is the life I want, and it is for the sake of art and my own life.
