Ultra Lotus
Easy Film Making- Unleashing Coolness on a Tight Schedule!

Featured Work - Ultra Lotus
A short film I made with the special pipeline I discovered, Blender, Motion Builder, Unreal and After Effect. This pipeline diverges from traditional film production pipeline, achieving optimal results in minimal time. Moreover, it doesn't need extensive prior experience, yet yields compelling cinematic outcomes!
Check out my bilibili channel, very cool animations!
Also with a Real Person size film prop suit!!!
After completing my 3D model, because my pipeline originates from traditional tokusatsu. However, the suit is a must prop in traditional tokusatsu. So, in order to build on the tokusatsu production process and then surpass it, I also made the Ultra Lotus suit. After completing the production, I took a series of photos. During the shooting process, I experienced a miniature version of the tokusatsu production process, accumulating valuable experience for developing my own process.

After developing my pipeline, in order to share and exchange my experience and test the effectiveness of my process, I organized a two-week workshop with my friends at RISD. The workshop focused on how to quickly build a character then make an animation and how to use these models to create props that can be 3D printed.
