Hi everyone! We continue series of short interviews with the best artists from Hum3D competitions.
Juwon Seo, author of the “Inspection”, will answer six questions and give us a look behind the scenes of his work.
Hello, my name is Juwon Seo and I work as a 3D motion graphics freelancer in Korea.
I usually work on motion graphics and sometimes upload personal work on SNS.
In 2020, I started working at a motion graphics studio in the advertising industry, and now I’m freely working on outsourcing.
I’m still not sure what my favorite direction of work is, so I challenge it when I have a new project.
To participate in the challenge, I recklessly searched for many references, including YouTube, Pinterest, and Art Station.
Among them, the concept art of StarCraft 2 Cinematic and the cinematic videos of Eve Online caught my eye.
Their work drove my eyes crazy, and I watched closely the appearance of the factory appearing for a short time and the background of the flying spacecraft.
The software used was Cinema4d, Octane renderer and Aftereffects.
The difficulty was that, due to the nature of the sci-fi genre, buildings have complex structures and appearances. I didn’t have the skills to deal with them.
Fortunately, Hum3d and many other modeling sales sites have many assets to solve them. I overcame the difficulties by buying and using them.
If you work for a long time, you will get tired. In that case, I work on a simple style frame or a short video and share it on SNS.
When I see the reactions of the followers on SNS, I feel that my greed as an artist is relieved.
In addition, I think personal projects have a good effect because they can test one’s full ability and resolve to achieve self-realization.
The software I use is different, but I’m very inspired by artist Ian Hubert’s work. His work is amazing. The tutorials he uploads to YouTube seem really fast and efficient.
– Seeing and observing a lot of things. Regardless of whether it’s a game or a movie.
– Not afraid to work and going through trial and error. Even if it’s hard to work, they become an experience for you.
– It’s something you usually enjoy delusions. Sometimes even useless thoughts can help you work.
– Admitting that your work may be lacking. If you only pursue perfection, you’ll get tired of yourself.
– Please take a break from work and do hobbies around you. During the break, unexpected ideas come to mind.
