Director: LING HAN
I have been passionate about animation since childhood, but I never thought it could be a viable career option. During my undergraduate studies in printmaking, I began questioning whether it was the right path for me. It wasn’t until my roommate introduced me to 3Dmax that I discovered my true calling. After creating a few pieces, I realized that animation was my true passion. I spent the next two years self-teaching different kinds of CG software and landed my first job as a rigger. However, after a year, I knew that I really wanted to be an animator.
