It’s rough out there again unfortunately but don’t forget there are thousands trying and making and posting to silence. So much art and dev posts you can engage with and encourage. It’s not much in the grand scale but it’s more productive than giving into negative talking points.

Some animations from Immortal: Gates of Pyre that I worked on. A couple of these were older animations that needed to be updated/reworked. Going to try and post a lot of the older animations that I have made (and are not under NDA). #animation #lookingforwork

My favorite part of working on animated films is getting to help with the color script, which is a narrative roadmap that helps to guide the color & lighting choices throughout the story. Here is my exploration work for some of the later sequences in the film Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender.

Sun Yuan and Peng Yu: "Can't Help Myself"
Sun Yuan and Peng Yu: "Can't Help Myself" is an installation that features an industrial robot. The robot constantly moves to contain a spreading, blood-like hydraulic fluid within a defined space using a shovel-like tool. The robot needs the hydraulic fluid to operate. The work highlights themes of control, boundaries, and the repetitive, sometimes futile nature of certain tasks. The robot's constant and somewhat desperate attempt to contain the fluid evokes feelings of unease, as eventually the robot will not be able to keep up and will fail.
