Motion Graphic Ad for Chery
These were Motion Graphic Advertisement to brand the new product of Chery, a Chinese car company. I played a leading role in making them. First one was for Ruihu 5X, second one was for Ruihu 7. 3D motion graphic mainly focused on demonstrating the cars while 2D one aimed at creating a color and young visual style.

Motion Graphic Ads for Volkswagens

Videopackage for TV Show
These were the video package for the first and second episode of My Future, a Technology and Entertainment TV Show.
It involved with a lot of Sci-Fi elements like HUD earth, aerolite and laser to deliver the feeling of technology. And I also tried to use brighter colors and cartoon models in order to create an entertaining outlook.
Stage Background for TV Show, MY FUTURE
These were the Stage Background for the first and second episode of My Future as well. They were 15-second loop video played on the glass screen on the back of the stage. The content would change when the hosts or guest came on or leaved the stage.
Laser, DNA, and Sci-Fi factory were modelled and rendered with Cinema 4D which aimed at
deliver the feeling of technology. And they also needed to match the light on the screen. Bright colors were avoided since them didn’t look good on glass screen.
