Previs + Techvis&Postvis Artist
I've been working on several AAA projects produced by Marvel, DC, Universal Films, and WB as a shot creator, as well as a Postvis & Techvis artist.
Cinematography and character animation is my main specialty, but I'm also reliable for postvis and techvis.
Creating and designing shots always excites me, and it's amazing to watch my completed shots alongside those of other great artists!
I'm working at The Third Floor Inc in LA. Before TTF, I started my career as a concept artist at AZ Works, a Korean animation company, in 2012. When I joined the 3D layout team, I fell in love with previs and desired to learn more about it. That was how my career began.
Since then, I've worked on four international feature films while living in South Korea and then moved to San Francisco to study more about previs at the Academy of Art University, completing my MFA in Animation in 2017.
