storyboard development, animation, sound design  

Following a tragic fire during China's Covid lockdown, the unexpected "White Paper Revolution" erupted. Green Bean Media interviewed two Shanghai residents, and Green Bean Media invited me to create an animation based on their accounts to protect their anonymity.

I used white paper as the primary visual, employing a black-and-white color scheme to reflect the protest's gravity.

To represent China's censorship culture, I replaced all text in the animation with blanks, mirroring the rapid disappearance of social media posts during the protests.
