BiWu.

A word of the sound in our own language is the original idea of this project. I chose "BiWu" which represent siren sounds in Cantonese. It was an after effect based animation, used to create different effects together, manage the scenes, composting and control of the camera movement.
The brush started as part of the writing and ended with the words "BiWu".

Wham!!

We were given a min of music, and animated on top with it. The animation combine with elements of water and paper stencil animation. Presented in the Elizabeth Hall with the group of musician who created this music originally.

the iron man

A cooperation project. Base on the story book "The Iron Man" as our character design. It's interesting to combine different people illustrated works together (e.g parts of character, Background...etc), In order to improve the camera control ability, I used single camera shot technique throughout this animation.
