Animatic Animation For NetEase Game "Onmyoji Arena"
From 2020 to 2021, I have the honor of cooperating with NetEase Games' game project "Onmyoji Arena". In 2020, I participated in the design and production of a stage of dynamic comic animation. From 2020 to 2021, I was responsible for the direct work of the second phase of dynamic comics. I was responsible for the storyboard design, screen drawing, video editing, music style guidance, and screen maintenance.
The main challenge of this project is the challenge of the new style, how to carry out the animation experiment of style innovation within the acceptable range of the audience. I have always been a NetEase game player and have participated in the creation of many fan works, so I have a certain understanding of the player community, and combined with the CG reference of the animation they made and the feedback from the players, I set the style of the entire project.
According to the script and settings provided by the planner, I drew a full set of animated storyboards and made a style frame for them to choose from. After determining the style and storyboard, I distributed it to the project assistants for drawing. During this period, I was also responsible for drawing most of the main screens. At the same time, I also supervised the manuscripts submitted by the assistants. How to achieve uniform style, how to run in and connect the pictures are all great challenges.
I also need to provide music style references to the music production team. I combined the atmosphere and plot of the screen to find some suitable music and mixed it according to the plot. Where the music needs to be high-profile when the music needs to change the melody, and which picture What kind of sound effects are needed to help make the picture more powerful.
Finally, the addition of dubbing is the biggest challenge for editing, because the speed of speech will make some pictures have to stay for a long time. How to make this picture look less boring is something that needs to be considered. The focus, movement, and conversion of the lens, I gave more consideration when editing the video, the method of film editing, and the lens language of the film.
After our joint efforts, we have completed this project very well and it has been well received by players. Everyone is full of praise for the innovation of this animation.
Final Animation
Early Concept Storyboard for CG Animation
This is an urgent need. I was told at noon that I needed to draw an initial storyboard based on the provided script and edit it into an animatic, and I needed to submit it in the morning of the next day. It was a very stressful task because of my academic task. It's also going on synchronously and I need to have classes with upside-down schedules. I arranged the time very well and submitted the task on time. Although it was a stressful experience, I learned a lot from it.
According to the confidentiality agreement signed with the partner company, the final use of the storyboard material and the process cannot be displayed.
Due to planning changes in the later period, only some of the shots were selected for fine-tuning and used.

Summer Internship At Tencent_IP Project "CosCat"
From May to August 2021, I participated in the company's new IP project in the design department of Tencent.
During the summer internship, I was mainly responsible for the derivative design of IP image, the production of product animation, storyboard drawing, poster design, the production of IP and other game linkage promotion advertising animation, peripheral product design, new image concept design, IP platform account management and operation.
My main work content is the production of animation and the topic selection of animation content. I need to browse various streaming media platforms every day to collect the latest and hottest topics and make tables to integrate them. Select the appropriate topic and draw the storyboard and the initial concept of the IP image that fits the topic according to the content. Directly discuss and confirm the content with the project director, and be responsible for assigning work to the team members after confirming the content.
At present, this IP has gained an ideal number of fans on major media platforms in China, and most of the fan groups are young people and children. Because the goal of product realization was taken into consideration in the initial stage, I was more inclined to the elements that young people love when planning the content.
This internship experience has benefited me a lot. I have not only made progress in art and design but also learned a lot of knowledge of operation and management. I think the most important thing is that I learned how to communicate effectively and calmly respond to emergencies and solve problems quickly and effectively.
