ART through animation at a surface level exists to entertain, but good art that resonates with consumers at a deeper level will move them beyond just firing off the dopamine in their brains.
This is very much the case with Teo Ze Sean, as his passion for animation took him from a childhood of watching Saturday morning cartoons and playing video games with friends to him working on big projects in the video game industry.
“When deciding on careers after secondary school, one of my goals was to contribute to something that could inspire or bring joy to people. That’s when it became clear to me that the joy I had for film and games was something I wanted to share with other people,” Teo told theSun.
Initially from Kajang and currently based in San Francisco, USA, Teo explained the decision to pursue art as a career had him first enrolling for a Digital Animation diploma at The One Academy, and by the time graduation was within sight, he had begun tilting towards the technical side of animation.
While still in Malaysia, Teo ran the animation gauntlet by working on TV commercials and 3D cinematics. Wanting to connect and learn from industry professionals working in big studios in the US, he then made the big decision to further his studies in the US and moved in 2019.
