I created an animation in which mysterious creatures appear and pass by only between 3 and 4 a.m. The story follows the creatures as they are released, and a female chooses a mouse doll as her dance partner, drinking, eating, dressing up, and dancing. Like the animations I have made so far, this work aims to focus on movement rather than using overly explanatory expressions. It is an animation for people who want to dream a nightmare that isn’t scary.

Handled the visuals and music video for Taiwanese band Shallow Levée’s single “Don’t Bother Me.” Technique: stop-motion, line-drawing animation After one of the members bought a Last Resort Fuji Rock T-shirt as a last resort, Shallow Levée learned about Last Resort. By chance, we met for the first time at a music event in Taiwan, which led to the decision to create this music video.

Method: Risograph printing and stop-motion I adopted “stop-motion animation using risograph printing,” a technique I have been experimentally producing independently since around 2019, as the visual expression method for this work. By handling the footage physically, I was able to introduce a level of flexibility that digital methods do not allow, such as using different types of paper for each scene, which was a major gain from this production. Concept: “Life during the COVID-19 pandemic” In Video Creators 100, which presents representative creators for each year, what kind of year was 2021? I set this theme because I wanted to preserve it as a visual record. One year has passed since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. I am writing this text on May 29, 2021. The third state of emergency, which was initially supposed to last two weeks, has been extended by about another month and a half. In 2021, the infectious disease is still spreading, and the new lifestyle has become more deeply rooted. I think it has become normal for many people to enjoy entertainment through a screen. While continuing to stay at home, meetings, live events, and drinking parties have all been replaced by monitors. The present is what keeps and extends our lives through the screen, and I condensed 2021 into a teaser video with the hope for the future—that one day COVID will subside and we will be able to go বাইরে outside again.

An MV that portrays a hopeless story through thrilling first-person footage from a zombie’s perspective and vivid animation.
