The Evolution of My Studios

2013-2014

Player-Factory

In 2013, I founded Player-Factory Studio and mainly created radio works. In a year and a half, my team and I produced over 100 broadcasts. There are more than 2,000 listeners per episode.

Then it began to transform into a video studio at the end of 2014.

2014-2019

Player-Factory

After transforming into a video studio, I cooperated with local high schools. I did a big live show for them. The audience was over 300 live and over 2,500 online.

Then I began to transition to we-media. Since then, I have made many personal projects and posted them on Bilibili.com.

2019-2023

Crystal Balloon Studio

In 2019 I got more funding and set up a new Studio "Crystal Balloon Studio." At the same time, I switched my creation platform from Bilibili to YouTube. 

And I began to make a variety of more professional film and television works. Short films, music videos, documentaries. Some of them have won awards. And because I have more skills. I started uploading some of my personal experiences in the form of videos on YouTube. For example, the introduction of some cameras, the sharing of editing skills, and the sharing of works. The videos have received good feedback.
