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 === 103 === Since the development of human society has never stopped, gender stereotype is still a common phenomenon. By studying the gender roles in the relationship to one’s personality and physical characteristics, and gender differences between innate and acquired behavioral effects of the society, the researcher applied the revealed outcome to develop her story and animated characters. The researcher also studied relevant animations on the visual representation of a spiritual body that helps her to reinforce the expression that everyone may have an opposite gender personality in one’s inner mind. Deriving from the researcher’s life experience, the story of the 3D animated film focuses on a girl who encounters difficult situations to change herself and make her boyfriend happy or to be herself and accept her inner voice of being a tomboy. The film aims to raise the issue of gender identity for public awareness and hope to encourage people to be themselves regardless of their gender identity.
