Who is Weng
Consider Internship or Trial Period
I am passionate about the art of 3D modeling with Blender, creating cinematic experiences with Unreal Engine, and video editing using
DaVinci Resolve. I am drawn to the possibilities of communicating a vision into an impactful visual message through both interactive worlds and cinematic storytelling. My routine includes advancing my skills, sharing my journey through mini-tutorials, and unraveling the complexities of the 3D and video editing world. This practice reflects my commitment to both personal growth and community contribution. I am open to internships or trial opportunities, and if you take me into your team I will work diligently to master the craft and evolve as a valuable team contributor.
