Bunny's Test Day
Narrative, 3D animation (2023)
2024 Exhibited at Carnegie Mellon: College of Fine Arts
Identified problem space:
How can stressful memories of the past be foundations of experimental narrative storytelling and serve as a form of creative expression?
During my times at CMU, I heavily explored the theme of alter-egos, reinterpreting elements of my childhood - constantly changing schools and adapting to new systems while navigating the pressure to excel academically. The narrative is definitely exaggerated a bit for comical aspects but yes, this was a form of artistic self healing!
Development:
- Stacey Cho Design Engineer, from initial concepts to final animation renders
Development Process:
Work flow: ideations - prototyping - animation renders - compilation
Unity, Maya, Blender, Substance Painter, Figma, Premiere Pro
Reflections:
I learned more about narrative world-building through this project, but I personally enjoyed building and testing a custom technical pipeline the most. From creating original assets to rigging / animating them, render complete scenes in Unity, and finally compiling in Premiere Pro, I was constantly pushing myself technically—and thriving in that challenge.
While the project expanded my storytelling skills as a designer, it was the rigor of the technical process that truly shaped me. Navigating each stage of the production truly refined my systems thinking and solidified my identity as a Design Engineer.
