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.

Taiwanese
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.
Project Statement
"Whispers of Unspoken Moments" intricately blends my personal journey and Taiwan's cultural richness. Inspired by love amidst Taiwan's landscapes, this animation explores the seemingly mundane human emotions. Collaborating with a local indie band merges music and visuals, inviting viewers into the universal themes of love and nostalgia in Taiwan's ambiance.
