Mom & I - Illustrations & Animation by me


I know I have neglected my blog for some time, but my mind these days has been fully occupied. So again, I just have a brief post by sharing an old animation that I created in early December, 2014, an animation about some fond memories I had with my Mom in Vietnam.






I built this animation completely from scratch. Everything in the video was drawn, illustrated, and animated by me : I used my own hand-written text, hand-drawn sketches, watercolor wash, acrylic paint, digitally rendered textures, in combination with digital painting to create digital mixed media paintings for different scenes of the movie. The main characters, Mom and I, were digitally sketched in Illustrator. I then animated these and added sound effects. 

Though I once cried during making this animation, I didn't expect that today, after 3 months, when I watch it again while uploading this post, tears inexplicably come to my eyes...  



( Youtube has shifted the temperature, brightness and saturation of the original video. That's why this looks brighter and more colorful than my original movie. )

Each day is as special as you want it to be."
