Every try was a first time, which formed a sense of desperation. I began with no instructions, conditions, or resources to make it. I had to build multiple huge stop-motion sets; sure, I had no money, so I even collected trash from dumpsites. When I realized that the silicone puppets I spent a few weeks making without sleep were completely unusable, I wanted to give it all up...

But what kept me going was always people. There were a few peers who helped me shoot for 3 days straight without any sleep. Another friend secretly took craft materials from her school and brought them to me. 10 more friends came together at tiny recording room when I needed voice actors. Film school peers let me borrow their cameras and lighting gears, and helped set up.


I feel like the friends who helped me back then are true soulmates I will keep for the rest of my life.

I even put my school on hold for this, and working 6 straight months without a single day off landed me in the hospital with a herniated disc. 🤕 I eventually completed 20 minutes of full stop-motion animation!


So, after going through something that pushed me to my limits, I knew right then.

“this is how I’m going to make animations for the rest of my life!”

Soon, I realized that animation is a powerful medium for connecting with people.


I have a deep respect for nature and animals. How life on Earth came to exist is wonderful, but losing them makes me very sad. I want to share this admiration with audience


Animation works like a gift: it is friendly, joyful, and naturally touches people's hearts in ways words alone cannot.
