Mark Lotterman "Happy"
People should be happy. Even this Egyptian goose, who tries to cast a spell on us with a seductive dance. Its gracious and clumsy movements captivate us. But it’s not the only one to master the dance. Three flocks of geese each led by their guru goose also share the pond; all of them torn between their desire to express their own individuality and the urge for group behavior. Soon the water begins to rise. Never mind. The geese will keep on dancing for us until they drown. A video about the search for ones own identity through seemingly audacious self-expression on the one hand and the undeniable drowning into the masses on the other.

Whisper
The animation is based on a Chinese old short story “The Words of Eyeballs” in A Collection of Bizarre Stories by Pu Songling, which describes a man who fails to resist the temptation of lust and is made blind as a punishment. The process of the eyeball going out of the body is a process of studying the lust inside the heart. The animation uses different images of animals to represent various kinds of lust, and combines different ways of creation such as water color, print painting and video to raise the question of the author to the spectators: Facing complicated and various kinds of lust, what is your choice?

Time Spy
This film combines the traditional woodcut and 3D visual experience and discusses the relationship between the time and life. We preserve the past by maintaining our memory and value the future by our desire. When we mention history, present, future, and eternality, memory could lie to us and tomorrow could never exist. There is nothing forever because we only live at the moment. Everything endures in the flux of time. The Universe is the only authority that could determine everything, and we are just the spies of time.
