FIGMA
Working on Figma taught me how to stay flexible, translating different briefs and messages into motion while keeping the craft consistent. These two pieces below, one has taught me on different techniques needed for a workable rotoscoping and tracking motion, while the others has made me paid attention to more functions and tools in After Effects for a smooth effect and transition.

LEGO
Working with LEGO is about embracing the fun and excitement that many of us grew up with. In this piece, I brought a static visual to life, using different techniques to enhance the speed and energy of the LEGO x F1 pieces.

MCCY
With MCCY, we wanted to spotlight local artists and celebrate their work through animated lo-fi playlists.
This is one of my favourite pieces because it takes me back to my time as an animation student at LASALLE. It required close attention to detail to bring it to life with believable, smooth movement.

LASALLE
Our project with LASALLE was part of the school’s recruitment campaign, so the visual needed to deliver the message quickly while staying engaging.
This piece was where I first applied what I had learned in Cinema 4D, combining it with what I already knew in After Effects.

GOODSTUPH X PINKDOT
A home-grown project by GOODSTUPH to celebrate Pink Dot 2023.
With this piece, we wanted to start a conversation around an age-old tension: the personal journeys of queer people and their faith. It represents the uncertainty and inner conflict that a religious queer person may face, while still holding on to the hope and optimism of the community.
