Cow (2022)
Cow (2022) is an animation senior capstone film directed by Wendy Kong, and I was a core team member from pre- to post-production. It is a fantasy romance inspired by puppy love, the landscapes of rural Hong Kong, and the movies and music that we loved as kids.
​
My credits on the film include character and FX animation lead, layout artist, and compositor. I was also responsible for character design of the titular cow, who appears in both a realistic and abstracted fantastical form.

For this shot that we nicknamed the “Rainbow Road”, I began with a thumbnail storyboard for how the FX would develop, then I rough animated the character and FX, keeping notations of the different layers of FX. After getting the shot back from the cleanup team, I animated the shadow effects in Harmony, We then took the shot into After Effects for compositing. I painted different rainbow textures based on art from the visdev team to carefully mask over each color-coded ribbon.
