Between May 2007 and December 2009, I assisted and worked on challenging stop-motion animation music videos. I consulted, collaborated, animated, filmed, photographed, assisted, and co-starred as a live-animated character. These projects pushed me to work in extreme weather conditions, filming in flooded streets after heavy rainfall, in the sweltering humid heat in late spring, and during a live snowstorm in the countryside. My ability to adapt and deliver under such circumstances is a testament to my resilience and dedication.

During these projects, I showcased my versatility by executing a wide range of roles. I was responsible for character and costume design, set and prop design, puppet construction, animation rigging, location scouting, and pre-production research. My design work as a special effects make-up artist is also prominently featured (see photos below). I animated select sequences and assisted with cinematography as a camera operator, grip, and rigger. I designed cinematic shots and executed practical lighting effects. I also shot documentary photos, demonstrating my multi-disciplinary skills and ability to contribute in various capacities.
