​Personal Goal

Hi, I’m Yilan Zhang, a 3D Animator currently studying Computer Animation at Sheridan College after earning my B.F.A. in 3D Animation from SCAD. I specialize in character animation, performance, and visual storytelling, with experience across Maya, Unreal Engine, and NukeX.

​

I enjoy creating expressive character performances and dynamic action shots, with a strong focus on staging, timing, and cinematic storytelling. I’ve contributed to collaborative short films as both an animator and production lead, including award winning student projects recognized by NHFF and the 2026 NATAS Student Production Awards.

​

Beyond animation, I’m also passionate about pipeline workflows, Unreal integration, and exploring stylized motion techniques in CG animation.

Currently, I’m seeking opportunities in animation and cinematic production where I can continue growing as a storyteller and artist.
