Free at Last

This is a storytelling project I collabrated with Jianying Dou about Covid-19 lockdown.

 

Role : Animator, Visual Effect, Co-director

Made with TurbulenceFD

 

Cloud simulations

This piece explores the emotion of isolation through fluid simulation. The cloud dynamics were designed to represent the protagonist's desire to dissolve and escape their confinement.

Final output

Made with Cinema 4D & TurbulenceFD, rendered with Octane

The day before yesterday was the same as yesterday, yesterday was the same as today, every day was the same.

I want to leave here, I want to scream, but no one can hear me.

The window was filled with the opposite building, filling the glass, I saw the reflection of the swaying branches and the broken sky.

I became a cloud, a flying, free cloud.

I like to walk in the wind, I’m shouting, I’m laughing, all the people in the windows that I pass by can hear it.

The dark clouds swallowed me, I am a cloud, a dead cloud, and the wind and the dark cloud partnered to murder me.
