+ Client Work+ 2021

Jinnin is an electronic and alternative pop artist and producer from Incheon, South Korea, blending 2000s Korean pop nostalgia with hyperpop, ambient, techno, and R&B. She first built a following by sharing mixes on SoundCloud. For her double single “casual breakdown”, she asked me to create a 3D character and a visualizer.

Challenge

Create a 3D character that embodies Jinnin’s sound, mixing 2000s nostalgia with an internet underground edge.

Solution

I designed and built the character in DAZ and Cinema4D, and rendered the visualizer in Cinema4D Redshift and did post-production and editing in Vegas Pro and photoshop for the stills.

Results

Delivered a character and visualizer that gave the double single its own visual identity for release.
