"What is a Yeti?" is about a woman, who does Google search "What is a Yeti?" Suddenly, the desktop does not work, and she get sucked into the computer, and comes into a virtual world to see a real monster-Yeti.
Video shooting and Sound design skills
- used pan camera movement in the first 5 seconds shooting by a slider.
- shoot the woman in a green room for cutting away the actress and replacing a new background.
- applied some composition principle, such as rule of third, framing, and point of view.
- applied some types of shots, such as close up shot, low angle shot, medium shot, and long shot.
- applied "Three points" lighting (key light, fill light and background light) for indoor screens.
- used two parts of music for background music.
- I recorded some sounds, such as the woman's scream, "Hah" monster sound, clicking mouse sound, coffee cup sound, sound of hitting on the ground, and so forth.

Visual Effects
- Keylight effect: I changed the background when the woman sucked into a "Yeti" world.
- Fire effect: I used pen tool to mask a fire shape, and tricked the fire folowing the woman's movement.
- Trace and trick: I made a motion tricker to make the fire following the eyes of the monster.
- Melting effect: When the woman sucked into the computer, she gradually melted.
- Shaken sceen effect: transform position and scale.
- Glowing effect: I make the sceen of the computer glow a white light, by combining mask and transform.
- Smoke effect: I made a dust flying effect when the woman dropped down the ground, combining fractal and triton effect.
- Title sequene: I used a bloody font for my name of the film.
