Moon Seun, the creator of Simplistic Pictures sees creative process as her life long passion. Her first animated short film “Henry’s Garden” has enjoyed a successful 4-year run on the film festival circuit, during which the kinetic storybook version of “Henry’s Garden” was produced and both are now on DVD. Also you can take a peek at the latest project “Ammonia”, a feature animation concept in development, along with a whimsical short animation about a boy and his soon to be friend "Shadow" in production.

Prior to founding Simplistic Pictures in 2000, Moon was a Senior 3D EFX Animator at Dreamworks Animation Studios, where she played key roles on “The Prince of Egypt’s” Red Sea team and on “The Road to El Dorado” – setting new standards for CG animated water. Before Dreamworks, Moon worked at Digital Domain, on visual effects for variety of films, commercials and others, such as an attraction ride “T2-3D: Battle Across Time”. While at Boss film Studios, she was a Digital Lighting Designer on sci-fi film "Species".

Born and raised in Seoul Korea, Moon came to United States as a college student earning her BFA with top honor of the First Agnes Gund Traveling Scholarship at The Cleveland Institute of Art majoring Metalsmithing and Photography. Later getting her MFA at The Ohio State University’s Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD), her thesis film "Panopticon" and "Interface", screened at SIGGRAPH and toured internationally.

To keeping steps with her enthusiasm toward animation, Moon also co-founded “The Animation Co-op” 2002-2008, a non-profit organization that supported independent animators and producers.
