Happy #portfolioday! Excited to show off the action bit of a 2:40 min sequence I just finished (full version on my website!) 👀 Minha (in blue) stumbles upon Hwan (in yellow) who’s a Shaman lost in the woods, separated from his aunt. Little do they know Hwan is a young, terrified vampire and conflict soon arises. This is an original story based in ancient Korea! I have a whole ~30 seconds more I have planned, but as of right now I’m pretty proud of how much my boarding has evolved- even if I still have ALOT to learn! I did this alongside @danielmaraya ’s 9 week storyboarding course and I learned SO SO MUCH. This sequence went through many MANY iterations! Thank you so much to Danny and also @servankenyu for all of the knowledge and guidance, I truly can’t wait to board more and flex the things I’ve learned!! (Plz watch the full thing on my website, link in bio! I’m pretty proud of a lot of the compositions and framing in the dialogue portion!) • • • • • • • • #storyboard #storyboarding #animation #animatic #storyboarding_process #storyboardartist #storyboards #animaticstoryboard #2danimator

#artvsartist2025, a little late but I wanted to post this with a fresh new profile pic after I using my old one for two years I think?? Time FLEW and I figured it’s well overdue for a new one! Im pretty surprised that I was able to fill out this chart, part of me feels like I never do enough so it’s nice to see a page of my work that I’m still pretty proud of! Honestly half of the chart could have been dedicated to thesis, since that’s what I was hunkering down and grinding on from August-December, but maybe next year!😉 I also realized a drew a lot of people..screaming this year?? Not sure what it says about my psyche this year but I’m sure it’s coming from somewhere lol? Hoping to make a lot more storyboards pieces once I’m out of the thesis gulag, both excited and cautiously anxious for this upcoming year 🥺 • • • • • • • • #artvartist #animator #2danimator #storyboard #storyboardartist #freelanceanimator

Last year, I kept coming back to what my dream project would be. As a Korean composer with an unhealthy obsession with fantasy music, it naturally had to be a fusion of Gugak(Korean traditional music) and Fantasy. Somehow the stars aligned and I got in touch with @grasshaha , who was looking for a composer for her Korean fantasy animation. Japanese and Chinese music are so well represented in media but when it comes to Korean music, all people can think about is Kpop. It was imperative to me that I write something that is distinctively Korean without being mistaken for other asian cultures. Through this process I managed to learn a lot about my own cultural music. I even picked up a Geomungo(Black Crane Zither) and started learning it along the way. But most importantly I got to work with incredible Korean musicians who brought exactly what I was looking for. Special thank you to @pansori_into for sharing your incredible voice, artistry, and deep knowledge of Gugak. Your Pansori sound was key in bringing Korea to this project. @john_taewookie , your Daegeum, Sogeum, and Taepyeongso performances brought such raw soul and authenticity. It was pure delight listening to you play. @ben_sedano_tinydog , thank you for your incredible mix and master. It was an honour finally working with you. You really took this piece to another level and gave it the power and energy it needed. Finally, thank you Grace for trusting me with your film. Keep an eye out for The Soldier’s Shaman this May.

The crimson hands of my father… Frankenstein was absolutely incredible- the story and themes of the book have always resonated with me and it was SO cool to see this iconic story on screen in all of its bloody, emotional, tragic glory. Kudos to Guillermo for making so beautiful and whimsical while still haunting, the film is so inspiring in every way!! Frankenstein and Occtis from Critical Role (iykyk) have catapulted me into a gothic mood despite it being the holiday season lol so needless to say I’ve borrowed lots of gothic books from the library 🤓 • • • • • • • • • • • #frankenstein #frankenstein2025 @gdtreal @frankensteingdt #frankensteingdt

My Junior film “Just Last Week” is premiere tomorrow at the SVA Undies!! :) A simple but very personal story about friendship, aromanticism, how life goes. It’s pretty different from my usual style of filmmaking, but I’ve come to grow fond of it! Conceived, produced, and finished from September - December of 2024, another huge priority of the project was trying to make something that I could start and finish in one semester. Proud to say I was able to accomplish that, and while it’s a bit rough around the edges I learned a lot about smaller scale storytelling and economic workflows! I’ll try to remember to post about it- tune into the SVA Undies 10/31 on @svabfaanimation ’s Twitch channel at 12PM EST! • • • • • • • • • • • #animatedshort #animatedshortfilm #2danimatedfilm #indieanimation #studentfilm #studentfilmmaker #animatedfilm #aromanticpride #aromatic

Cleaned up this FX assignment from ages ago! Been chipping away at this the whole summer and I finally finished it!! Wanted to include some process shots too: Final -> color -> tie downs -> roughs Pretty pleased with how this came out, it was fun tackling a more detailed character model compared to the more simplified designs I have to stick to for short films🤩 Originally animated for @bighonkk ’s FX animation class, I remember being proud of what I had done at the time (the roughs) but now the final it looks MILES better 😭🙏🏼 • • • • • • • • #2danimations #xmenanimatedseries #xmen97 #gambit #remylebeau #xmenanimated #fxanimation #fananimation

A cloudy night in the city for a certain webslinger A final for one of my classes! Very fun assignment which had us studying and recreating a classic painting, reusing everything but the actual content of the original piece. I wanted to change the content (a couple sitting by the river bank) as much as possible, and rotating the composition helped a lot! It forced me to get creative. Second slide with my process! We weren’t required to reuse the exact color palette, but I thought using some of the atmospheric colors from original painting with a typically bright and colorful character like Spiderman would be an interesting challenge.
