Internship at Confucius Institute

Content creator/Animator (March 2023 - June 2023)

I undertook an internship at the Confucius Institute as a content creator/ animator for the company, where I created a short animation using various illustrations to portray Chinese and Australian children coming together and learning about each other’s cultures.

Creating the animation project included many tasks such as:

  • Developing a script with the purpose of engaging young children in Chinese culture and language
  • Creating designs for the four main characters to reflect both Chinese and Australian culture
  • Storyboarding the script with different camera angles and action shots.
  • Being able to take on critiques and feedback from my supervisor and other various stakeholders
  • Creating numerous illustrations for the final animation
  • Working with other interns for voiceovers and translations
