3D Animation demo reel
In 2015, I was a Computer Science student. I moved to the US and decided to change my major into art. I took my first drawing class in 2017 and first animation class in 2018. Those are the years I learned tirelessly, yet enjoy my passion. I got started with 3D CG in 2020 and in May 2021, I release my first indie CG short film name "Lamppost" in which, I am the writer and creator. This is a great achievement for me after years of hard work. But this is only the start for me.
It was an amazing adventure for me and I love every bit of this journey. It helps me discover myself and explore my instinct in art. I am proud of my development in a relatively short amount of time. And thanks to the time being a Computer Science student, I have the ability to adapt to new technology and software quickly.
