Ruinan Wang - FX TD | Vancouver, BC
I focus on simulations and procedural setups that are both efficient and adaptable — tools that serve the creativity without disconnecting from reality.
During my time at Stormborn Studios, I worked on a variety of technically and visually demanding projects, including The Penguin (2024), Yu Yu Hakusho (2023), and The Sympathizer (2024). I’ve created simulations for fire, explosions, water, rigid body dynamics, magical effects, and more. I am always finding the balance between realism and visual impact.
My education in Animation and Visual Effects also gave me a strong grounding in related areas like look development, lighting, rendering, and compositing. That broader understanding helps me work smoothly across departments and adapt quickly to different workflows and pipelines.
I’m inspired by great art, everyday details, and the technical challenges that come with making the impossible feel real. I love learning, refining my craft, and collaborating with others to create compelling visuals.
