Hi Xiaotong, thanks for joining us today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?

Recent years I’ve been working and collaborating with in house team at Activision Blizzard Marketing creative department to produce high quality video content for their world class AAA mobile game Call of duty mobile. I‘m working as an 3D Artist motion graphics to provide 3D creative assets for using at marketing platform such as YouTube. And also provide technical support both internal and out sourcing agency use. The work I did achieved high performance and viewing at social media. It was very grateful that I can contribute to this one of the world’s popular call of duty franchise, keeping myself Learning and growing based on this project.

Xiaotong, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My name is Xiaotong wen, a 3D visual designer, digital Artist. Graduated of university of Southern California with a master of fine arts, animation and digital arts, motivated and creative in 3D visual and motion graphic fields. Currently based in Los angeles, California.

I’m been working worldwide with artists, agencies and studios, collaborating for VJ of musical brand, real-time documentary series and projection mapping show, and has been involved in award AAA game titles such as CALL OF DUTY®: MOBILE and Call of Duty®: Warzone™ Mobile, Shipped AAA Game title call of duty mordant warfare II. My 3D creative been awarded and nominated at several International Film festivals, and been shown at Getty Museum.

Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

In 2018 I first start creative at 3D motion graphics field, before that I was working on stop motion for almost three years, but I quickly decide to learning and developing into 3D motion because it’s vision and form are so unique. At that time the whole was different In my hometown, there are still using famous stars to shoot for advertising, the animation of cartoon style and experimental design scene are rarely can be seen. So I start learning from online tutorials and attending workshop in LA, spend lots of time to learn the fundamental techniques of 3d software. If I can see the new media early, I might have more time to develop my own design.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

I think the most part of creative rewarding for me is the communication with people who see my work. During my recent Project experience for CALL OF DUTY MOBILE, every time the idea I pitched and the video I made was success, I can feel that through the images, people can see and feel my visual aesthetic. And Every time when peopel like my design and my work, I feel such grateful, especially when my work was the top viewing performance at social platform. That is the simple reason I keep doing design and learning in this field, a better communication with outside world.
