Wanderer

A collaboration with a Hong Kong based composer, Lauryn Kurniawan. This black-and-white music video
works to capture the feeling of being lost in life, and the temptations one may encounter.

Direction: Lauryn Kurniawan, Auralee Mayfield, Concepting: Agatha Tiara (Rara) Christa, Animation: Auralee Mayfield, Fon Limsomwong

This music video is a collaboration with Hong Kong based composer Lauryn Kurniawan. This music video expresses the confusion and lost-feeling one might feel when faced with too many choices and temptations.The black-and-white graphic style juxtaposes the bright colors and highlights the confusion of the main character. These colorful signs and flowers can seem inviting at first, but prove to be overwhelming. The looped ending seals the character in a cycle, stuck as a lost wanderer.

Light on me

Light On Me is a SCAD senior animation film about a broken and tossed lightbulb finding a new beauty in life, directed by Eunha Kim. Created 2D FX, motion design, and composited some scenes.

drifting away from chaos

My second senior project, Drifting Away From Chaos, is a collection of visuals surrounding a fashion collection by designer Xueying (Sharon) Rui.This collection expresses the chaos and the quiet of the COVID-19 pandemic. I experimented with the TouchDesigner program to create visuals that merge her collection with technology and nature.These tech-driven visuals express the rigidness of society while nature-like visuals express the chaos of the pandemic.

Imagery of fabric transformed into live visuals. Focused on their aesthetic connection to nature. Feedback loop + displacement + slope and ramp/look-up to generate a distorted image or mov file with selected colors.

Other Experiments with TouchDesigner

Psycho

Finishing up my film minor in Hong Kong was a great experience that resulted in this film 'Psycho'. A story of betrayal and the blindness of love. Unfortunately due to COVID19, the finished product was not a final cut but I was able to get these beautiful scenes as images.

warrior nun show re-package

A repackage of Netflix original Warrior Nun. I chose this show because of its unique concept and creative beginnings - an original comic book series by Ben Dunn. I collaborated with Chris Rodriguez, a cinema 4D connoisseur who helped me bring the chaotic visuals to life.

Collaboration with Chris Rodriguez @_DaChris

By mixing a sense of renaissance art and chaotic graphic visuals, this concept juxtaposes the pristine beauty and subtle eeriness of catholic iconography with the outrageousness of the original comic that the show is based on. By cutting between shots of realistically rendered churches and religious figures, the concept will represent the tone of the show, being dramatic and suspenseful without taking itself too seriously.

Cities - A compilation of cities in my life. nov 19 hong kong

Right before the pandemic, I was studying abroad in Hong Kong. This video I made before knowing that we would have to go back to America halfway through our stay. Even though I was there for a short time, I learned a lot about my view on the world and the world's view on me. Hong Kong made me fall in love with cities and all the calm craziness they offer.This is a compilation of all the cities in my life (Boston, Amsterdam, Savannah, Hong Kong) and the people with me. Featuring a song by one of my favorite producers, Code Kunst.

Hera

click images to enlarge illustrations.

HERA is a world named after it's main character Hera, a young girl on a journey to find herself and what happened to the long-lost women of Sofia. In the icy nation by the Northern Sea, Hera leaves her aloof father and brother to chase after her mother's footprints. She meets Lux along the way, another lost daughter of the icy tundra. Together, they discover more about their lost family members as well as themselves.Creating characters and stories is also a passion of mine, and I'd love to create a webtoon in the future.
I would not be pursuing the arts without the stories told to me when I was young, and I hope to create visuals that will inspire the next generation of artists.
