Skim On West

  Yes~ I have worked for this project since Nov 2012! But, unfortunately the project release date is pushed back to 2015 fall as you know, so I'm currently working on theatrical short film project these days. 약 2개월 반 동안 '몬스터 대학교'에서 레이아웃을 하다가 2012년 11월에 바로 '더 굿 다이노소어'로 투입됬습니다. 레이아웃 초기 맴버중 하나로(수퍼바이저, 리드, 그리고 제가 3번째로 투입) 거의 1년여간 일하다가 올 가을 갑자기 모든 프로덕션이 '스탑!' 싸인을 받았네요. 원래 2014년 여름에 계획되었던 개봉일이 2015년 가을로 미뤄졌기 때문입니다. 가장 큰 원인은 만족할 만한 스토리가 안 나왔기 때문인데, 과연 얼마나 스토리가 많이 바뀔 지는 아직은 미지수 네요.  여하튼 첫번째 3D 포스터가 온라인에 공개 되어 반가운 마음이 드네요.  요즘에는 2015년 여름 작품인 'Inside out' 앞에 들어가는 단편 작업을 하고 있습니다.  레이아웃은 단 2명이 하고 있어서 복작복작 재밌게 작업할 수 있는 것 같습니다. 감독에게 훨씬 캐주얼하게 새로운 아이디어도 재시 할 수 있는 분위기도 좋고요. 그 밖에도 개인적으로 하고 있는 Iphone용 게임도 프로토 타잎 개발이 거의 끝나 갑니다. 2달 정도 더 하면... 마지막으로 다음 단편작품은... 아주 천천히 진행되고 있습니다. 이것도 2015년까지 끝내는걸 목표로!

I have worked for Walden, A game directed by Tracy Fullerton as a lead artist for recent two years. When I joined the team, there was an idea, but not that much things were there in terms of graphic elements. So, I could go through how a game comes out from scratch and finally it reached a playable stage now. There are a lot of things still have to be revised and developed more, but the world starts to show interest on this project. Here are some news related to this one. NPR USC NEWS

This project is non-profit educational project, which I involved in. All materials are pretty well polished and illustrations are gorgeous.

Read the articles New World Symphony created new section on their website to explain gorgeous visual+music projects in past year. Most of the images are from the project I involved in as a section director.

I've worked for this game since 2010 summer as an animator, designer, and storyboard artist. Now, it's playable a bit, but we still leave a lot of things to do.

I animated this short spot in 2 weeks including all kinds of food animation at Duck Studios. It was tight schedule but fun character and project though.
