Sorry Youth’s Walks of Life music video character animation

In 2021, Whitelight Motion produced a 6-minute music video for Sorry Youth’s Walks of Life, funded by Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture. The story follows a young woman who left her rural hometown for the city, only to return for her estranged father’s funeral and discover how her elder brother has preserved their family’s culinary legacy. The narrative touches on Taiwan’s rural-urban migration and the way love is often expressed through quiet actions rather than words.

As character animation director, I oversaw the delivery of polished, coloured character animation based on Whitelight’s character designs and storyboard. I supervised a key animator and an inbetweener, personally keyed many scenes, and handled cleanup and quality control throughout production.
