Interview with Tienny The, Animator, SG

My focus is illustration and animation for young children with the interest in the pre-production process – script, storyboarding and character design, and illustration. My style leans heavily towards the educational style.

I feel very honored and privileged to win this award for my artwork.

Muse Award invited me to participate. Besides that, my teachers encouraged my classmates and me to enter our artworks into competitions.Because of this, I submitted my illustration show reels to the Muse Award competition. The artwork that I submitted for the 2019 Muse Awards is an illustration show reel with the concept of a museum in the deep ocean, where a lost sea turtle curiously enters the museum and is able to enjoy the diverse styles of illustrations.

Discussing the story concept with my lecturer and the attempt to improve and to finalize the story is the biggest challenge of this illustration show reel.While executing the project, my understanding of the animation software deepened and I managed to complete the project within the time constraints. Even though the assignment had been submitted, I still tried to improve further.

Winning this award encouraged me to strive better and excel in my prospective services.

Teamwork, problem solving through storytelling, and design thinking to make tangible solutions.

There is definitely a growing interest in the creative industry amongst Singapore job seekers.

Personally, I feel that the creative industry in Singapore will be gradually growing in creativity and effectiveness.

Personally, I enjoy dwelling and delving deeper into the presented creativity. My advice is to take the time and effort to research the subject and/or the problem to understand it well.

Self-motivation and willingness are important self-resources for yourself. You should also seek out and attend skill-related workshops that interest you.

The stories I write are quite connected to my dreams – sometimes, a dream inspires a story to be written; other times, a story I’ve already written later appears in my dream.

My grandparents, parents, close auntie, my close friends, and my ex-boss inspired me to be the best version of myself.

Feedback helps to improve your work.
