MFA THESIS ANIMATION
Through a "Slice-of-Life" Lens: Falling in Love in Taiwan
Everything from storyboarding to animation, painting, editing, compositing, and sound design was crafted by me over 6 months.
The music, "The Afternoon," by the band Huan Huan, was a collaborative addition to the animation.
Winning the Audience Award at Parsons Animation Festival, “Whispers of Unspoken Moments” is a mostly drawn frame-by-frame animation that blends my personal journey and Taiwan’s cultural richness. Exploring the seemingly mundane human emotions, the animation invites viewers into the universal themes of love and nostalgia in Taiwan’s ambiance.

indie band
Huan Huan (緩緩) is an indie band from Taiwan.
"Since 'huan huan' means 'slowly' in Mandarin, Huan Huan's music is soft yet resilient, trying to make sounds of healing and sings for the uncertainties of life"
Collaborating with Huan Huan, a Taiwanese indie band, has been a dream. Their song "The Afternoon," in the local dialect, enriches my animation with cultural resonance. Together, we blend visual storytelling and authentic Taiwanese music, celebrating Taiwan's heritage globally.
