The Cheap Man

Artist Statement

    I am always fascinated by the unreal and odd stories. Every time when I watch the stories through animations, I feel like that I am participating in them. It seems like I have experienced a lot of different, unique and exciting lives. So I make animations, because I want my audience can feel the same thing like what I feel from other animations. In addition, I feel like my imaginary lives are recorded while I am creating stories. These reasons encourage me to keep creating.

   The animation The Cheap Man is in Black and white style. Inspired by the Japanese animation Atama Yama, I would like to use the same method to tell story, so the story is by a third person’s narrative. At the same time I decided to use Chinese dubbing with English subtitle to display a Chinese modern fable. As a summary, it is my first time to make an animation in this style, but I like it.
