Happy 2017 is an animation project for practicing and promoting my Brand- Chia DNA.
I planed to create an animation for new year celebration on 29th of December. I didn’t have a lot time to finish it before 2017, so I decided to grab something I already have and combine it with something simple. Finally I picked Snow Boar and I added four simple monsters – 2017 Monsters. Next, I put Snow Boar and Monsters 2017 together to check if they fit nicely. Before I started animating my Monsters, I have written down the story and created a storyboard with it.
Then I started animating the Monsters with After Effect according to the storyboard mainly, and did some editing with Premiere. After two days hard working, I’ve completed this project on time.

Snow Boar is a 2D game specially for Christmas. It was created with watercolor painting and built in Unity.
Tom and I started generating ideas and building the concept with the painting- Monsters Winter Gathering in October 2016. In the beginning, we chose Snow Deer to be main character in the game. However, we found Snow Boar is cuter and more friendly for our audience so we changed our mind, and Snow Boar became the main character in our game. After two weeks thinking and discussing , we got our concept.
- Concept:
Snow Boar is the helper of Santa. He needed to deliver the gifts to all the kids in the world because Santa is gone one day before the Christmas.
- Game Play:
Player layer needs to guide Snow Boar to deliver the gift which is the same color as the house color, for example: green gift to green house.
- Condition:
1. Player only can deliver the gift the house after the light of the house is off. There is a clock on every house to show how much time is still left before the light is on again.
2. If the gift is delivered on time and to the right house, the player will earn some score/candy, and get more time to play the game. If not, the time will be deducted.
We couldn’t make our deadline because the time is too short, and we are still going to complete the game. We hope that we can publish it before Christmas 2017.

Story starts from…. Monsters have so much fun in the Human world during Halloween evening. They completely immerse in the happy atmosphere, and fully forget to leave the human’s world before the door between Human world and Monster World closed.
Now the Monsters have no choice but face the consequence: they are stuck in the Human World. However, this is only a small issue and therefore not a big problem for them. They are still having fun and enjoying all the things the Human World offers.
Fluffy Monster is a ‘party animal’ and loves to party. She went to Human World to celebrate Halloween. She had too much fun however and forgot to return to Monster World before the portal between the Human World and the Monster World closed. Now she is stuck now in the human world. This is not a problem because everything is so interesting to her and she is having a lot of fun.

Observing people behind his shell is his favorite activity.
