Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Thats alright! Im pretty sure my own family doesnt really understand what I do lol

In general animators are only responsible for the characters performance and any props that need to move

Things like the lighting, design of the character, hair, clothing, set etc. are all done by other departments

Thank you! I’m really big on using reference. Locomotion can be so complicated and everyone moves so differently it’s hard to keep all of that information in my head, so studying reference for my shots is key. I also try to approach movements one step at a time.

Here’s everything I animated on #kpopdemonhunters

I’m so grateful I got to add a little something to this amazing film 🙂

Honestly the reference/planning part of animation is my favourite part! I feel like it’s where I get to make the most creative choices.

That’s awesome!! So glad you enjoyed it!

I was only a very small part of making this film, but thank you 😊

The story board artists do a great job letting us know generally what’s going on in the scene. The emotional state of the characters with a few poses. With that info the animators will bring their take on what the acting/action will be while staying true to what was laid out in the story boards

This is just a reference collection of smaller shots.

One thing to notice with video reference is that it’s just a road map. A lot of things can change as you dive deeper into the shot when it comes to performance.

This shot is a great example of collaborating with other animators to stitch together the best pieces of each animator’s performance.

Thank you to the amazingly talented Joy Liu, Annike Pienaar and Sophia Lee for helping me out with this one! 🙂

Thank you!

I made sure to move the couch cushions on the floor behind me so I could fully commit to that fall so I’m glad you enjoyed it lol

Here’s my reference for some of the shots I animated on KPop Demon Hunters.

This sequence of shots was particularly fun because it was a rare opportunity to explore Jinu’s goofy side 🙂

Cool?

Yaaaaa people definitely don’t know me here yet lol

But thank you!

So glad to hear! Yea the whole crew did an amazing job 🙂

Aw shucks Charlie 🙂

Far from a rockstar, but thank you lol

You’re an amazing lead Charlie!!

Another run of shots I animated here. Making sure each girl had their own personality in the way they move was really fun to explore.
July 13, 2025 at 12:56 AM
Thank you! Super fun to animate 😃
July 13, 2025 at 12:39 AM
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. The whole crew is amazing and I consider myself lucky to be a part of it 🙂

These were the very first shots I animated with the girls on screen at once. It was a fun way to discover each of their personalities, design language and how they play off of one another.
July 12, 2025 at 6:35 PM
Thank you!

Also big shout out to Ryusuke Furuya for helping plan a lot of the action shots on the film!
July 12, 2025 at 6:33 PM
Charlie!! So good! Still one of my favourite shots of the movie lol

I never know what to say for my first posts on a new social media account 😐

I guess I’ll just say Hi! I’m a senior animator at Sony Pictures Imageworks and the latest project I worked on was KPop Demon Hunters

Heres one of my shots. I’ll post some other shots I animated with some ref later 🙂
