People say that life is short, you whether devote yourself to what you want to do and go for it, and you’ll reach the goal of you life. I wonder how true is it? Wenchung has worked in animation field for more than 20 years. He set up his goal to make a feature film, and he kept working on it. It seems obvious and reasonable, however, things didn’t go for what he expected. When I first met Wenchung, he was already a successful animator who collected international award titles. He showed me the studio and told me that he would host his premiere screening of “Otto” in his own theater, and I’d be invited. Years and years later, he has been through many obstacle, and still hard to see the end of the journey. He was completely stuck which caused by his personality a lot. He grew up in conservative environment where didn’t allow him to know and identify himself. The talent of drawing became his only weapon to against the discrimination. He always think himself as a fighter, and he turned the idea into the animation characters. In real life, Wenchung had been bullied at school, strike for compulsory purchased, loss of family, failure of finding the resource for his feature film. In Wenchung’s works, There’s always a little boy trying hard to against some superior power. His work is like an Utopia for him to breath, and the contrast between real life and animation is going to be shown in "Stop, Motion".

I personally relate to Wenchung’s situation very much. We have similar grown up and study background, and we share alike scene of aesthetic. I used to think that I was fighting to the world alone as well till my daughter was born, it took me to a different level of life. Maybe we weren’t born to fight, but to learn how to love. To see things in another angle and we can find another side of stories. That is "Stop, Motion" all about.
