After painting for a long time, I wanted to find a clear job for myself after having a hard time. It was CGI that came to mind right away without any worries, and I wanted to learn skills that could naturally specialize in visual senses and creativity. Above all, I have always been influenced by my favorite movies, dramas, and media advertisements, and I want to start anew for something similar.

I was naturally interested since I was in college.

Hello, I'm An Ji Yun, a new compositor. This is my portfolio. Thanks for watching. I have been dreaming of becoming a compositor since a year ago. I'll be a more mature composite in the future.

In my third year of college, there was a time when I was comforted by watching movies due to so many bad news. I also wanted to help make a movie that I wanted to comfort and impress someone.

The more I watched movies using visual effects, the more I fell in love with them. and such movies gave me inspiration. But most of all, this industry has shown and taught me passion.

The trigger was when I uploaded a game asset to the Steam Workshop. At that time, I felt the fun of modeling in the process of making assets. The positive response to my assets was also a big help. After that, I dig deeper into this field.

after graduate university

There were moments when I found myself drawn to art, design, and storytelling, and I realized that I wanted to pursue a career where I could express myself creatively and make an impact through my work.

I got to know about the CG industry two years ago and found it attractive.

I realized the importance of lighting during my various parts in college, and I was fascinated by how different lighting arrangements can convey completely different visual moods and messages. Lighting is not just a technical task, but also an activity that adds light to 3D data to give it a sense of reality and bring it to life. The process of live-action compositing gave me a great sense of accomplishment, transforming even the most mundane images into special memories.

I developed a dream after attending a special lecture in high school

In 2021, I became interested in modeling when I learned Maya with a 3D motion graphics class at the university.

I've always wanted to work in the creative video industry, but it wasn't until 3-4 years ago that I became specific about my dream.

I quickly became interested in 3D design because I had studied fashion and industrial design before. The beginning is, When I was 23 years old, I saw real character modeling by accident for the first time and thought that I wanted to study. However, before that, I thought that I wanted to make my own things that I saw in my dreams and create them in a certain space. So I became more interested in this field.

When I took an animation class in my third year of college, I worked on a robot animation. I found it fun and interesting to move a stationary character as if it were breathing life into it, so from then on I wanted to learn animation and started doing it.

I took it for granted that I had been drawing often since I was young, but I found out that what I felt was different from others, and then I thought I wanted to work on creating something. So I thought about what would be a good creative thing to do, then I thought I should do something related to animation that I liked, so I started learning 3d animation

I've been interested in Barbie and Disney animations since I was a kid. Up until I was in high school, I was just wondering how amazing people are who make 3D animations like that, but the moment I was in college, I felt like, "I want my name on the ending credits of such cool 3D animations." So, as soon as I graduated from college, I jumped in with passion, even though it was a totally unrelated field.

When I was a high school student

Since high school, I had a lot of thoughts about my future career and wanted to do art that I had liked since I was young. I entered university with a major in media art, where I can learn various things. I first learned the field of CG in university, and I experienced various related things. Those experiences were so fun and I decided to become a CG artist.

My creative journey stated when I joined the photography club in middle school. Taking pictures with film gave me a lot of inspiration for my teens. So I decide my mind I will be in to media industry. And It make me apply to Art College. During 4years of studying I found myself falling in love with film again. such as photo and video. Most of all, I do more interested in visual art position. and It is getting me more desire to know about editing and visual effect. Finally I discover about VFX.

During the pandemic, I was reflecting on what I really wanted to do and what I could do well. After spending a long time introspecting, I realized that I have been deeply passionate about artwork, whether it's constantly exploring new concepts or creating something entirely new. I found VFX by chance, and I was so obssessed and delighted because this is exactly I wanted to do.
