Hello!


I'm Animator Nam!


I participated in various 3D video projects such as movies, animations, advertisements, and games, and have won awards at domestic and foreign film festivals by producing short animations. I have been a part time professor of animation major and lecturer targeting youth groups for many years.

Currently, I am working alone as a 3D animation writer instead of as a team to make my own work instead of doing work for hire. I figured I should focus on that while I'm still young.

I feel the most joy when I'm working on animation. And even now, there are many tasks that make my heart race just thinking about them. The reason why I have been giving lectures or classes has been because I want more people to know this joy.


I prepared for this class with the same mind. I hope more people will discover this fun and sympathize together. And I'll continue to be with you to help create better works!
