“Fangirl Mums” was my final project in the third year of my undergraduate studies and also my first attempt at constructing a complete narrative using 3D storytelling. Inspired by my mother, I observed her behavior as a middle-aged woman engaging in fan culture and expanded this phenomenon to explore broader social and emotional contexts.

It was the first time I used 3D modeling, animation and visual language as my primary tools of expression. This was not just a formal experiment but a turning point in how I approach storytelling. I began to consider how space, lighting and rhythm could convey a character’s inner emotions, and how a viewer’s first visual impression might shape their understanding of the narrative.
