HANDKERCHIEF
Stop Motion Animation
1920x1080 Full HD
In the film, we portray the diligent efforts of opera performers while capturing the emotions of self-doubt and bewilderment experienced during the journey of personal growth. In terms of artistic style, we have reimagined the aesthetics of traditional opera through the medium of stop-motion animation. This allows for wider distribution, free from the limitations of physical venues and audiences.
"In contemporary society, the fear of deviating from the norm due to individual uniqueness often undermines self-confidence. We aim to address this issue through the compelling character of Qian Dan, a fixture in traditional Taiwanese opera culture. In this art form, Qian Dan is a male actor tasked with the role of embodying a female character on stage. Drawing inspiration from this unique cultural element, we've created an animation that serves as a heartfelt exploration of self-worth and identity. As our protagonist navigates the complexities of growing up, he learns to understand and appreciate his own distinctiveness."
“Defy Definitions, Embrace Your Uniqueness.”
