Getting started!

I have been reworking on thumbnails for my new film this last couple of weeks and they are done! So much fun!! I wish I could just keep making thumbnail films...:)

character sheets

It was an awkward weekend this last two days. I was super tired and sleepy the whole time.
Is it because of the weather?

Anyways, here are some character drawings I did for my film. I tried to simplify the design because I know I cannot design too well.

Old film, new film

It's been a while since I wrote anything. I guess I am not the type to write too much. That's why I draw instead...

Here is a film I did in my undergrad. This was made when I was just starting to learn animation and I had this amazing teacher and artist Soyeon Kim who taught us students really cool techniques for animation. It is my favorite class ever. So I made this one shot where the dog goes from the street to the Executive's chair. I added other shots a year after I graduated, and I was getting really frustrated how I did things when I made the first shot.
It was all fun and good though!

This is my first film done in the graduate school of UCLA. It was actually an undergrad class, so I was learning everything from the beginning. It was really interesting to learn how timing and breaking joints make so much difference in the flow of animation.

right now, I am working on my first year film that is going to be about 5 minutes long. I am freaking out because we only have about 100 days left. It's scary how long it takes to do so little. It's all learning though, right?

Salton Sea color studies

Salton Sea was awesome. There were enormous amount of dead fish at the shore and it smelled like shit but it didn't bother me at all! I was super motivated and happy about future on the way back after seeing such a colorful and inspiring sight. 6 hours of driving was worth it :)
