The idea comes from my life experience.Because of my strong feelings, I would like try to explore the true meaning of being a person with the desire for freedom,but also living under some forms of constraint at the same time.By creating this animation,I use 2D texturing for 3D characters.
Joseph Henry, US, Directed by: Phil Allocco
A psychological drama of loss and unfulfilled potential. The narrative explores innocence and wisdom, hope and regret through, what seems to be, an ordinary conversation between two strangers, a man and a boy who meet at a bus stop. The story unfolds through a fragmented narrative and distorted time line blurring the lines between dreams, reality and memory.www.josephhenrymovie.com

Habits, USA, Directed by: HYEJIN KWON
People’s behaviors are driven by their memories and obsessions. Their obsessions dictate their actions and their actions reinforce their obsessions in a never-ending cycle. My film is an exploration of people's habitual behaviors as a reflection of their mental status. In my work, three people with no cause to feel unease behave in peculiar ways in order to escape their misgivings.
Three stories are shown in sequence and later as a montage. These stories are about ordinary everyday people, one driven by anxiety, another compulsion, a third by obsession. They indulge in idle fantasies and habitual behaviors. Habits, the result of obsession or compulsion, will be scattered.
