Epic Drink Fight!

Sometimes when I start working on moving image, I wonder what crazy thing seized me that wanted to undertake such a strenuous task. But when I see the final product, I can see why I wanted to do it in the first place!

Drawn using a mix between traditional animation and rotoscoping. We got JT and Florence to act as if they were fighting and later traced over them, adding details in the process. During the two weeks, I slept over at partner Mengqin's place for two nights, mooched off her for food, and went up several levels in Taiko Drum Master.

Black Frog and the Infatuated Tree

Well, this took forever to upload (considering the original file is a whopping 891MB, having been saved in the best possible quality and resolution) which involved me keeping my computer on for about two days. Seriously.

Done as a group animation (working together with Suhui and Max) as part of a moving image brief, 'Secret'. We were given 'black', 'frog', 'infatuated' and 'tree' as our keywords to work around. Well, we kind of dropped the 'infatuated' and instead actually made the frogs the spawn of the tree.

After many days of agonizing, compromising and not sleeping adequately - who knew it would take four hours to animate three seconds? - as with most animations, watching the product is very satisfying. And look, mama! I drew the tree branches!
