Letitia Liu has a solid voice in animation whose work already signals a rare blend of sensitivity and precision. A graduate of the University of Hertfordshire, Liu approaches visual storytelling not only as a technical craft, but as a poetic language – one that invites mood, tone, and emotion to take the lead. Her aesthetic leans into the whimsical without losing control, and her storytelling instincts are grounded in a quiet confidence that favours subtle transformation over spectacle. Whether working with traditional 2D forms or layered VFX, Liu demonstrates a sharp awareness of how visuals can speak where words fall away.

There’s an elegance to her creative choices that suggests an artist not chasing trends, but shaping her own visual rhythm. Her design sensibilities lean toward the ethereal – soft light, delicate movement, and spaces that feel just a breath away from the ordinary world. Liu’s artistic voice is already distinctive: careful, contemplative, and emotionally tuned. She’s not afraid of stillness, nor of brevity; instead, she embraces the power of restraint, trusting in the viewer’s emotional literacy.

This artistic foundation finds a captivating expression in ‘Flicker‘, a short film in which Liu served as animator, director, and writer. Her touch is evident throughout – balancing technical skill with a poetic sensibility that strengthens the film beyond its micro-short format. A talent worth watching.
