I designed this scene to combine swaying fallen leaves and rippling snows in an interesting way.

Morton salt girl – dogfooding with a can of salt
This little girl logo on salt containers inspired me to animate it with some dynamic graphical effects (lines for rain streaks, spheres for flowing salt particles and bouncing raindrops) enabled by some experimental features I have been working on for Fresco motion.

Footprints in the yard
Some contractor left in the yard a trash bag containing some food, which was then attacked by some wild animal, probably raccoon(s) based on the damage and the footprints which in turn inspired this motion graphics.

Cemetery
I like to walk in a cemetery; it feels serene, solemn, and prompts me to ponder life from a different perspective.

Minna and New Montgomery
After visiting the photography section of SFMOMA while on the way for dinner pick up at North India, I noticed a street sleeper near the intersection of Minna and New Montgomery. I then spotted two more similarly-shaped entities nearby, which, upon closer examination, were a blanket and a group of trash bags at the back door of Henry’s Hunan.
I took their photos and composited into one afterwards.

Pillar of Shame, Christmas variation
Pillar of Shame, which I frequently walked by during my HKU days, has recently been demolished (CNN, BBC, Reuters).
The vulnerability of the physical sculpture as well as the coincidence of its removal with the Christmas day inspired me to draw a motion graphics that is digital (and thus harder to demolish) and hybrid (heads and bodies as Christmas tree ornaments).

December blooms
I am not sure if this is the normal season for flower blooming but here they are.
Upstairs
This visual, probably the upstairs of a building interior, popped up in my visual mind during shower.
