Title Sequence | Empress Dowager Cixi

Abstract
This is a title sequence I made for a book that I am really fond of. The book, Empress Dowager Cixi: who launched modern China, is a biography for Cixi (慈禧), the most controversial and important female historic figure in the modern Chinese history. I felt inspired after I read about all the achievements she had done, so I took this chance to give a whole new perspective to let people reimagine this amazing historic figure Cixi.

Motion
I synchronized a lot the objects/texts with the sound to bring an appealing visual experience to audience. I also generated the 3D objects to play out with the soundtrack rhythm and enhance the storytelling. Camera movement is another Key role in this project since it bring more dynamic and draw towards viewers’ attention further.
