Zijun Yang

I am a multimedia designer with a passion for motion design, visual storytelling, and emerging creative technologies. I am fascinated by the emotions, memories, and quiet moments hidden within everyday life. Through my work, I aim to create immersive visual narratives that invite reflection and imagination. I hope to capture fleeting emotions and transform them into experiences that resonate with others.

Zijun Yang, CRUNCHWORKS

This project is a vertical promotional advertisement for the snack brand Crunchworks, targeting a young, energetic audience. Designed for social media platforms, the video showcases three individual flavours and a family-sharing pack through dynamic motion and vibrant visual storytelling. By combining movement, colour, and rhythm, I sought to capture the brand’s bright, playful, and lively identity while creating an engaging viewing experience.

Zijun Yang, BENEATH THE RED RIVER

Beneath the Red River is an original opening title sequence inspired by the Australian gold rush. Using a stylised sketch aesthetic and archival textures, it explores how the pursuit of gold shaped lives, landscapes, and the stories that unfolded beneath the surface of history.

Zijun Yang, WITNESS

Witness is a short atmospheric film that follows a camera left behind in the rainforest. Through its lens, viewers observe the transition from dusk to dawn, witnessing wildlife, changing light, and the subtle rhythms of nature. Combining painterly visuals and immersive sound design, the project explores how movement in nature can create emotional connection through observation and atmosphere.
