On graduation which area or environment of production do you wish to focus upon and why?
I hope that I can focus more on the personal competence of animators when I graduate. Having good animation production skills is one of the qualities that every animator should have.
What skills will you need to attain the standards required for vocational practice?
Self-study and good communication skills, animation production and understanding skills, learn the advantages of animation from reference videos and convert them into their own knowledge.
How will you showcase your FMP practice for the final shows?
In the final subject project, I want to make an animation about social justice issues, and discuss whether private revenge should be taken when the law fails to provide justice for the victims. The overall animation style will be more stylistic, and real-time calculation will be added to clothing and hair to achieve better results.
Is it important to directly connect the thesis research to your practical work?
This need to be discussed separately, the actual work does not need to show the reflection on social issues, then some people will ask, is the paper research related to the actual work? My answer is yes, in the postgraduate stage, we need to read a lot of relevant animations and movies through the research on social issues. In this process, we can exercise our sense of beauty and sensitivity to animation, and our skills can be exercised later. However, the research quality and exploration of animation aesthetics cultivated in the postgraduate stage will be the effective ability to make ourselves stand out.
Do you have an area of research you wish to conduct that is unrelated to practical element?
Of course, for example, I have recently been studying the representation of quadruped animals in animation, because I have found that most of the quadruped animal animation on the market follows the Disney style, with exaggeration and anthropomorphism as the main body. As a result, most animation references on the market revolve around this style, lacking the promotion of realistic style. I hope to enrich the resources and relevant knowledge in this area through my own research.
