I worked on the animation project 700 Year of Promise, produced in collaboration
with the National Research Institute of Maritime Cultural Heritage.
The project is based on a real historical event in which a 14th-century Yuan Dynasty merchant ship
sank off the coast of Sinan, and a large number of its artifacts were later discovered during
excavations in the 1970s. This historical background was developed into a narrative centered on the
idea of a promise carried across time.

While grounded in historical fact, the story incorporates fantastical elements, making it
an educational history animation that is approachable and engaging for audiences of all ages.

Due to the project’s constraints, a small production team was tasked with creating a large number of characters, artifacts, and environments, making it a highly challenging endeavor. To ensure a smooth production process at scale, I developed a range of Python-based in-house tools during the project.
These tools were applied to streamline large-scale rigging, asset management, and overall project
workflows, significantly improving efficiency and enabling the team to manage complex production
demands within limited resources.
