I am not good at talking with other people in English, so I
was a little bit afraid when I first went to the screening location. It will be
embarrassing when I don't understand what they are trying to say. Luckily, the
creators are very patient and friendly. English speaking used to be a nightmare
to me, but after discussing animation techniques with creators, I feel that my
English has improved a lot. Also, the animations there are very different from
Hong Kong. It was both a surprising and exciting experience to watch these
animations. Hopefully, I can fully put them to use in my next animation.
Moreover, I would love to explore other parts of the world to learn their
animation culture as well. For an animator, there will be non-stop objectives
to reach and so much things left to learn, it's awesome to see how far we have
to go.
