碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 多媒體動畫藝術學系動畫藝術碩士班 === 100 === The animator uses one of the most popular Chinese folk arts, the Chinese pictorial seals, as characters to create an innovative visual experiment in this animation short film. Since the Chinese dragon year came, the animator has tried to create a story about the coming new year from the past zodiac signs, the rabbit, to the dragon. The animation starts from the first four animals of the Chinese zodiac signs, the mice, the cow, the tiger, and the rabbit. They trace and play with a falling ball coming from the dragon’s mouse. Through the animation process, the animator learned how to make these tetrapod walk smoothly and to move with style, and then created this interesting and convincing character animation.
