So After about 3 years of working for at&t as a contractor, I got to start working as a full-time employee since February. This job is perfect for me because I get to work from home and work 4 days a week which allows me to dedicate some time for Idle Wheel. Another thing I love about this job is that I get to do lots of character animation which is what I've been wanting to, and trained to do. The orange character you see above is Murray, who I animate almost on a daily basis. Murray appears on many of their security campaign posters and videos, and these are two posters I created recently. 

Website headers

 This is also long overdue. I did some illustrations to be used as website headers for at&t.

I don't get asked to work on illustration jobs that often, but when I do, I have so much fun!

Sometimes I need a break from all those diamond keyframes you know...

Some more sketches I did for the same project below

Not that anyone reads this but hope you are all enjoying the holidays!

These are some illustrations I did a long time ago for at&t.

I was given multiple topics related to cyber security, and was asked to do some illustrations with different styles and treatments. More to follow!

Early sketches

Some modeling and rigging

About two months ago, I got to work on the opening animation for at&t cyber security conference with my friend Michael. This was an awesome experience because 1. it was one of the most exciting projects I got to work on this year, 2. because I enjoy working with Michael, 3. I got better at 3d animation.

Prior to this project, I barely knew how to animate anything in Cinema 4d, but with the help of Michael and numerous tutorials I watched, I can now say I know cinema 4d a little bit if someone asks... I'm still a newbie but I hope this is a stepping stone to exploring more 3d animation. 

Character Design Gig

First post this year!!

I love it when at&t gives me occasional character design/illustration gigs.

For this one, I was asked to design a simple character using a blobby shape. 

Hopefully I'll get to animate these guys.

I know you do it.

Character Designs

Character designs done for at&t a while back.

And these are the animated clips before compositing. 

These were done a while ago, but I thought I'd post them since I don't have much recent work to share. College Board has been keeping me busy and I am mostly doing corporate style motion graphics. There are cons and pros. I definitely am hungry for some creative work though.

AccuApp_MockUp from Sun-Joon Robert Hwang on Vimeo.

This is a quick mockup video Steven and I created for a pitch, demonstrating how the Accuplacer app is used. We filmed my hands making motions on a blank screen then tracked it in Mocha. The content was created and animated in Aftereffects. Rotoscoping isn't perfect here, but this was a good practice, and I think we'll be able to make it look much better and nicer if we were to actually do this. Apple, let us create your next ipad demo video!!

Update

I was asked to come up with the whole design package for an online show at&t tech channel is hosting on their website, starting from a logo to the opening and layout formats.  The image above was the first draft I came up with that didn't get selected. Unfortunately I don't have a clean copy of the final design to post here because I created it using a plugin I don't own.
    Graphic design is always hard for me. The fact that I didn't have any official training makes me not confident. I'm glad I was given the opportunity to work on this though. It just brought something different to the table for me because most of the time, at&t hires me to do character animation. I will have to have better graphic design sense, since there will be many more like this to come when working for Idle Wheel Productions.
