Industry Experience

Education, Media & Entertainment
    uniE621 Short film - A Bite That Takes Me Home
    Selected as one of the seven finals of In Touch Art Commission 2022 New Zealand. https://www.twine.net/signin ‘A Bite That Takes Me Home’ is a motion piece that showcases Chinese food traditions and customs in the timeline of the four main Chinese festivals during each season. These food practices will bring Chinese immigrants back to their childhood memories. And behind the scenes are the beliefs of how the Chinese connect with nature, with the deceased, and with the whole community.
    uniE621 1 News Explainer Series
    https://youtu.be/LmiqmY5muI4 This is a series of explainers that tell stories behind the current affairs. The visual direction needs to be eye-catching as it's published on both social media and online streaming service platforms.
    uniE621 Documentary Branding
    https://www.twine.net/signin The Uber Economy is a documentary investigating how Uber shrinks its taxes and whether it's playing fair in New Zealand. In this project, I worked with the producer and editors to design the whole package, including the title sequence, baselines, and end credits. I also animated the scene along with the iconic voice of John Campbell, the TVNZ chief correspondent.
    uniE621 Illustrated zine
    Blumen is a character I created for one of my zines. It is a blue man in the shape of a flower with a sad/indifferent face all the time. The purpose of this book is to encourage people to take their time with the stress, sadness, or negative thoughts in life that they find hard to deal with.
