Interview with Yibi Hu - Josie's Lalaland |

| The color theme was decided from the beginning. I wanted a heavy atmosphere yet I also wanted it to be filled with delightful twinkling lights. The red clouds are something related to the nature of the disease itself and when I progressed further the red colors actually worked well against black. Most importantly I needed something to deliver gold seeds to the scene and red then became a perfect choice as it matches both gold and black. The creatures are mostly originated from outdoor insects. I designed them also based on experience. | ||||||||||||||

I remember when I was living at Kingston I used to get annoyed by groups of flies along the river. After I moved into town centre I started to miss country life as well as the flies. Therefore, for me I associated the insects to life outside the city and when I had to design a symbolic “outdoors” or “suburbia” the flies made good choice. IA: What was the most important thing for you while working on this film? YH: Errr… don’t know how to answer this yet…but I do want people feel happy for Josie. IA: What has been the reaction of the public to your short? YH: I haven’t yet shown to a mass audience as I just finished it this August. I did show it to some of my friends and many of them got a bit tearful after watching it, which is a wicked reaction in my point of view. IA: What are the tools you used? How long did you work on this project? YH: Photoshop and Aftereffect are two dominate tools I used on this project. There are also some elements and camera reference I worked out in 3D. IA: Are you working on a new project? Can you let us know more about it? YH: I am planning something focused on the fur trade industry but nothing I can talk too much about at the moment. I also hope to get some music video projects in the future. |
