Coffee John
Coffee John is a coffee merchant who didn't fall prey to the Cartel's temptations. He exposed the Cartel and used automation to save his failing business. The concept uses a storybook illustration style for a whimsical effect. Adobe Flash, AfterEffects and Premiere were used in the production. This personal animation project was awarded the Grand Prize in the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore Animation Contest 2014.
The Lazers
The Lazers are a pair of couple who didn't like dishwashing, so they plotted against each other to see who would win in the end. The initial concepts were too heavy for hand-drawn animation. Hence, they were adapted for rubber hose animation. This is the 2008 final year project in Sheridan Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning, Canada.
Girratopus
Girratopus is a hybrid creature design demonstration for Ngee Ann Polytechnic diploma students. It is a hybrid of the giraffe and the octopus. I revamped the Animal Anatomy module with industry-level assignments on anatomy and movement mechanics.
