The saga runs in the family.
My late father brought me to theatre in 1977 for "A New Hope" movie. Told me after the movie, we're going to make something like that someday. It gave me a strong force of inspiration about movie production. One ultimate dream had been locked.
Years later, finally I have my own crew: my family. For years, we recreate the movie ourself at home.
By recreating the scenes, we feel that we're the part of ILM's magic & craftmanship. Thank you George Lucas, Dennis Muren team & the actors. @Starwars@ILMVFX@HamillHimself

Another day in the quarantine time, all the family member gather to (re)create a video with old Macintosh machines. @twentyonepilots' asked us to create lyric video for their single “Level of Concern”
The setup is similar to what we did for “This is America” video back in 2018 with additional machine Macintosh SE/30. Creating animation with these machines is my ultimate childhood dream in 80s. Using MacPaint & MacroMind Director software plus Calcomp Wiz drawing tablet.

Creating animation with halftone:
(a) In TV medium creates flicker effect
(b) In digital requires high data rate & less compression
I think remaking #SpiderMan: Into The #SpiderVerse trailer would be a challenge. A fun challenge where there are scenes with halftone & misprint colors.

A thread about my journey with computer animation & why I’m (re)doing computer animation with 80s tech.
33 years ago friend brought this magazine from school library, said “Now we can make animation with computer. Macintosh computer!”
The software featured in the article is VideoWorks, by MacroMind (predecessor of Macromedia). My eyes wide opened, a new dream shaped.

Trying to capture Donald Glover’s motion in MacPaint.
MacPaint doesn't have layers for onion skin drawing. But at least it has copy paste \o/
