a design for project 1

am working on project one, developing story with writers and editors. It is a challenging process as I never thought of cooperate with writer and editor because animator work on storyboard and edit straight away.

but the process is great fun though.

a workshop of developing character!!!

a little drama on the street
really love the garbage, there are many forms of it!!!

at last.....!

At last, the animation I made last year will be published on the coming Sunday at 7:30pm
So far, it helped me to won the 16th TBS DigiCon6大賞 effort prize (HK region)

recently i am addicted to the songs by the 'Symphony of science menu'
I really love the music, and I almost cried when i heard the lyrics.
they are so true, i really appreciate the way the scientists see our earth, appreciating life and nature.

a workshop in UK

It was a lovely week in the workshop,
I met Caroline leaf and Robert Bradbrook!
有一句說話看似很廢, 不過我很認同:
Life maybe has no meaning
but story should always has meaning

caroline 有一句話很值得自己反省:
"getting an idea is easy, it is building up and comprehence a complete story which is hard to do..." (somthing like that)
總之在這裡我學會了放棄某些idea, 令故事更加完整才是最重要
學習放棄也是一種勇氣

there are many different thing in Hong Kong animation and overseas animation,
the western story is quite straightforward, it is always simple and positive
while Hong kong animation has alot of hidden meaning, many metaphors, many ironic criticism.
It is a cultural thing, i guess.
in terms of talent, Hong kong people are actually at the same level with the westerner,
it is all about attitude: it is the positive attitude in the Westerners makes everything possible.
so why can't we do that?

很久沒有綀習

很久沒有綀習, 畫了一個早上才逐漸找回感覺
可是又要開始做其他事了,
之前開始進步的技巧又要再綀過了....
還是做回full time 吧, gfreelance 太累了

我發覺我喜歡上色多於畫畫, 塗陰影多於上色
