random videos and eat vari-
ous assortments of food. Oh,

Dwerking
A collaboration with some talented Bboys. Choreographed on the day according to the environment. The rough idea of the story was to portray the nostalgic and childish side of our everyday lives - everything can be fun.
10cm - Music Video
A simple music video cover using the assets available to us at the time. Experimenting on smooth camera movement with a forklift and a tripod. It was pretty dangerous but well worth it.
The Next Episode
A one-shot live performance in collaboration with some awesome Bboys and my musical friend on the Cajon. Stripping down to the basics of dancing with a simple beat and letting your body carry you.

An assignment during AUT 2010 where we create an advertisement using the technique of Stop Motion.
Dance
One of the first experimental dance videos a friend and I decided to do.

This video was made for my final project in my Graphic Design degree in AUT during 2011. Dealing with the idea of Generation-Z taking the technology that we have for granted, and exaggerating the leverage that we have today.
The Green Dot
As an exercise during my year at Media Design School-we got given a default green dot animation to turn into 4 different things. I thought this theme was highly appropriate.. along with the sound effects made entirely by my friend and I - with our mouths.
Together-Kina Grannis MV
For our final project of our course in Media Design - we had to make a Music Video. Luckily I got permission from Kina Grannis who gave it a thumbs up and I was good to go. Judging from my projects during University where we had freedom to do anything, I think it's safe to say that I love the style of real video crossed with animation.
100 Days Project 2014
My first time participating in one of Auckland's creative events where you consecutively produce anything everyday for 100 days. I chose to do a 5 second animation everyday - using this opportunity for exploration. Part 1 video only shows the motion/idea side of things while the rest of the footage in Part 2 delved into possible Music Videos.
Ingram Micro-Microsoft Animation
A simple animation I did for my freelance job with Motion Sickness Studio for Microsoft.

Miss Changy Intro
Did a simple collab animation with Miss Changy for her Chinese New Year themed pop-up eatery. She supplied all the graphics and I made it move.

Finally got to do a food based animation! Love everything related to food so I really enjoyed this project. Thanks to Motion Sickness Studio for the work and to Luke Toth for the guidance and style!

Here's a short animation I did for Preno via Motion Sickness Studio. A little how-it-works video which I always enjoy doing especially when it's something I would use too!

A little intro animation I did for a fellow designer Catherine Tsang. Always loved the idea from the Mr.Cube animation and it's nice to do some manual pen tool animation from time to time.

Another animation for Motion Sickness Studio. This one is for The Social Club. Made for one of their events where a looped video was needed.
