Film Synopsis:
From my personal experience and the love story of my friends, love itself has joy, happiness, but at the same time, horrible and bad feelings going on. Overall, I would like to put the duality of their embodied experiences, both love and pain through a cup of coffee, in my film.

Artist's Statement:
As a 3D Animator, I enjoy the whole process of the animation part, especially turning stiff to alive characters. My intention is to embody people's feelings by infusing simple but strong motion into characters. I usually animate human characters with Maya (3D Program). Before actually sitting in front of the computer, I take a reference video in order to understand the character's feelings and body mechanics. In my graduation work, I want to create a film that is warm and that can bring sympathy to people.
