Summer Runner

Summer runner, 2025

From the project August dream, TP Tower


This project pays attention to the contemporary trend in which the act of running goes beyond simple exercise and becomes a culture.
The figure who runs on purple mushrooms and surreal landscapes,
It crosses the boundary between reality and daydreaming and leads the audience to a dreamlike time.


달리기라는 행위가 단순한 운동을 넘어 하나의 문화로 자리 잡아가는 동시대적 흐름에 주목합니다.

Magic Wander


Wand Modeling and Motion Design

Magic Wand Motion Design was created using Cinema 4D, exploring the intersection of fantasy object design and motion-based digital sculpture. The work combines metallic, glass, and organic textures to evoke a sense of both futuristic technology and ceremonial artifact.


Magic Wand Motion Design은 Cinema 4D를 사용해 제작된 작품으로, 판타지 오브제 디자인과 모션 기반 디지털 조각의 교차점을 탐구한다. 금속, 유리, 유기적 질감을 결합하여 미래적 기술과 의례적 아티팩트를 동시에 연상시키는 형태를 구현하였다.

    2D Motion Design


    This vibrant 2D motion design series by Cootielab.com pulses with the rhythm of music, translating sonic energy into bold visual statements. Each frame is a kinetic exploration of typography and stylization, where fonts become characters and color becomes cadence.

    Fonts dance, colors hum, and each frame becomes a visual echo of sound—playful, dreamy, and full of energy.
