Hello! Thanks a lot for dropping by!

3D is my passion. I've started 3D at the age of 14 using a pioneer 3D software. Since then, my passion for creating visuals grew tremendously. I hoped to pursue a career out of my passion, thus I joined the Digital Media Design Diploma Programme and majored in Digital Animation.

With the great force I'm working with, I feel that I'm a step closer to my goal! I hope I can work with an excellent team on a big production sometime into the future! :D

There are many things that I want to achieve but I'll have to approach them step by step. My mid-term goal is to create a decent animated short which will entertain the audience. It gives me a great sense of satisfaction when the audience respond positively to my animated clips. Then, maybe I'll work on a more short films and animations to build up an impressive demo reel.

Meanwhile, I had an idea to form a creative team, capable of pre-production, production and post-production, with the ability to work across various media platforms such as web interactive media, broadcast commercial, film and animation. I have hence gathered a few friends (course mates) together to form [Channelbox] where we work together on creative competitions. To date, we have achieved a couple of awards and we are constantly pushing the limits of creativity and technical execution. My intention is to inspire young and budding artists in the digital media industry to be bold and adventurous with their creations.

What comes after I've achieved my mid-term goal? After graduation, hopefully I will be able to work in an animation production house. Then, the first thing I'd do is to understand the workflow, only then I'd be able to understand my workmates and then create the best possible results together. There are a few production houses here in Singapore and they offer tremendous opportunities to realise my goals.

After that?
I love to tell stories through visuals, and love the creative side of this industry. After I have gained enough experience, I will love to take part in art direction, direction and conceptualisation of projects, be it websites, commercials, short films or feature film or even my own film! To me, each of these mediums are challenging and interesting in its own way and I love creative challenges!

Until then, I will like to share my experiences and learning journey with young people who have the same interest as me! Alright, I guess I'm going slightly too far ahead on this, so I shall see as it goes! :D

If you would like to know a little something about my past by any chance. :)

As I was studying secondary/high school, I already had the passion for design. I had the chance to use Adobe Photoshop 5.5, Flash 4.0 and Caligari TrueSpace 5 during my art lessons. And somehow, I learnt html during my Chinese lessons. It was a very rare opportunity and unlike most of my friends around me, I found a great interest in using these applications to create digital media content. I stayed back in school and played around with these applications. Then, my teachers approached me for help in design work so I began to work on websites, brochures, cover designs, t-shirt designs, banners etc. for school events, publicity or publications.

My passion grew and I began to realise that I could actually take up a digital media design programme. However, not everybody was supportive of it, because at that time, the society more or less feels that studying at a college and going to university was the best and safest way in life. Nevertheless, my parents and my brothers supported my decision! Hence, most of my friends moved on to college while I took on a greater challenge I suppose. So that's how I'm here animating away! :D
