[Gwenbia Adventure] An Unreal + AI animated short workflow test.

To You & Me, 30 Years Apart (org: To You & Me, 40 Years Apart) is an archival documentary combine with live piano composition performance. It reveals an unspoken truth in a modern family, and it asks the questions that if life is not so perfect, how do we live through it with one eye close? I spent the past 12 month devloping this piece, looking at footages from 30 years ago to recent. I hope this film, along with my piano performance will give you a mixed feeling warmth. ———————————— Performance Schedule May 5th 8 pm - 9:30 pm & May 7th 8 pm - 9:30 pm SCI 106 900 W 34th St, Los Angeles, CA 90007 Open to the public.

AI Test. My mom's childhood dream was to become a ballet dancer, but because of the era she grew up, she eventually became a nurse. Therefore I made this for her, maybe in another reality, she never stop to dance.🥰

Surveillance project from IML 201 — this has always been my proudest and most precious work. In the summer of 2023, I lost everything from the past six years — my journals, photos, videos, and all the little objects that had quietly recorded a life lived alone, with no witnesses. From age thirteen to eighteen, my life was calm yet lonely — hard to put into words. Like a faucet left slightly open, it all trickled away in a hidden corner. I tried to catch that fleeting stream with writing, video, and music, hoping to tell whoever passes by in the future: Look! This stream was my youth. Wouldn't it be a shame to let it slip away just like that? So, recording how it felt to lose all of it — that was the only thing I could do. Grief and helplessness will fade over time, but I’m truly grateful that DJ gave me a chance to preserve those memories while they were still vivid. Surveillance project from IML 201 这一直是我最骄傲也是最珍贵的作品！23年夏天我丢失了过去六年的所有东西，那些日记，照片，视频，小物件记录着我那段没有任何见证者的一个人的生活。我的十三岁到十八岁平静而孤单，很难用言语形容，如同水龙头没拧紧的细流，在某个隐蔽角落发生了，而我试图用很多很多的文字，录像，音乐去把这些易逝的水接住，跟未来经过的人说：看！这些水是我的青春啊！让他流掉是不是有点太可惜了？所以将我丢失这一切的感受记录下来是我唯一可以做的。悲痛和无奈只会逐渐被淡忘，我很感激DJ让我在记忆鲜活的时候让我用这种方式记录了下来

Loose Ends – Music Video A music video for Tommy Zee's Loose Ends. The first time I heard the demo, I was like “danggg this sht is fireee.”* So hyped and honored to bring this vision to life with Tommy and an incredible team. Truly, this wouldn’t have happened without every single one of you: @robynns7 @a_vanawang @lihuiwang02 @zhiweituotuo @yurunhe.r @alex.barsanti_ @kaiannak @ulisezv 🙏 Learnt so much through this wild ride—from chaotic pre-pro planning, tight set coordination, to experimenting in the edit room. But most importantly, I’m grateful for the friendships this project created. 第一次从零开始策划这样复杂又大胆的作品。我和沈芯真的为此掉了不少头发。三个月的焦虑、自我怀疑、熬夜开会，一点一点把脑海里的画面落地实现。日子也因此逐渐丰满起来，我也开始期待起明天。 CAST & CREW / 制作团队 Jack: Tommy Zhang Rose: Rebecca Yu Director / 导演: Ian Chen Editor / 剪辑: Ian Chen Producer / 制片人: Robynn Shen Colorist / 调色: Ian Chen Director of Photography / 摄影指导: Ian Wang, Ian Chen VFX / 特效: Ulises Vera, Ian Chen Art Director / 美术指导: Avana Wang 3D Animation / 三维动画: Alex Barsanti Animation Production / 动画制作统筹: Kaianna Kaneshio Behind the Scenes / 幕后花絮: Jerry Zheng Special Thanks / 特别鸣谢: Evan Hughes, Michael Bodie, Nikia Fenix, Fiona Choo, Jayloni Fisher, Michael Li, Jiayang Liu

So glad to edit this masterpiece by @h_guo03 and goated @deezydarko last year, just finally get the chance to update this editing & VFX work on Instagram!

[To You & Me, 40 Years Apart] looking for crew!! (2D&3D Animatior, Producer, Writer, etc, open to everyone) This will be my thesis project also a birthday gift to my mom. But I think the story relates to most of us who is about to enter to the real adulthood, and face society on our own for the first time. I want to create a 20-40 min mix-media archival documentary combining with live music improvisation about my mom's memories, and relate her experience 40 years ago to mine today. Am I going to be as good as you forty years later? Am I going to be telling the same story you told me in the future? Where will your story be at that time? What if I miss you? So many things I have yet to tell you, and you have yet to tell me. Please dm or shoot an email if you are interested!! [email protected]
