Xiaocong "Rain" Yan
Lighting Artist | x-Insomniac Games & miHoYo
Los Angeles, United States
Hi there :) I am a specialist in lighting, compositing and cinematics! I have previously worked on Genshin Impact at miHoYo/HoYoverse and helped with shipping Marvel's Spider-Man 2 at Insomniac Games, where I have accumulated experiences in lighting for both stylized/hyper-realistic cinematics and game environments.
I am interested in full-time opportunities beginning this Fall 2024! If you are interested in my works, feel free to hit me up anytime :)
