Hello! I am Ben Tan, an animator, illustrator and concept development artist, who loves all things to do with telling and imagining stories in bold new ways; things we haven’t seen and stories we haven’t told, expressed in the most sincere of ways.

Final Year Project(s)
Our project is an animated short film featuring two young adults, Charlotte and Valerie, who ride a cable car up Mount Faber in search of mountains in Singapore. This project explores an unorthodox approach to filmmaking, combining traditional and digital techniques to create a rich visual style which serves the lyrical poeticism of the story. The filmmaking process involved experimentation and exploration of different mediums and the integration of such mediums with digital animation.
