BFA ANIMATION & GAME ARTS
(SHE / HER / HERS)
I am a 3D animator and illustrator, and my work is made to tell a story. The animations that I make have sad, heart-wrenching elements to them, so I want the audience to truly feel for the character that is hurting. My latest film, Heart in Seoul, is an example of that. The main character, Jae-ho, is a robot that wakes up with memory loss in a post-apocalyptic Seoul, South Korea. He then finds a picture of his creators and sets out to find them. With the virtual tools given to me, I aim to create cinematic scenes that are eye-catching and intriguing to the audience while having significance to the story being told.
