An Awakening Adventure

'An Awakening Adventure' is a short 3D animation that tells the story of an eyeball that escapes its owner and embarks on an adventurous journey, ultimately revealing itself as the human's nightmare due to his tiredness from overworking.


The narrative draws inspiration from personal experiences and academic life in Melbourne. Many peers and professionals have encountered the negative effects of overwork. Thus, this video aims to convey to people, and also remind myself, about the importance of work-life balance. Taking time to relax or go on a short vacation can lead to recharging and gaining unexpected experiences, which can be more beneficial than solely focusing on work.


The ultimate goal is to raise awareness about overworking and encourage better eye care through this 3-minute short animation. The intent is for individuals to recognize that excessive work is unsustainable and can lead to health problems. Ideally, the project could bring some encouragement and motivation to those who face job-related burnout and aspire to make positive changes in their lives.
