sunset singers (2022)
Sunset Singers (2022) is a 10-min animated short film, based on documented materials obtained in Hong Kong 2019 when the Anti-extradition protests took place. There are two filming locations - concert venues where retiree performed singing, and protest venues. A soundtrack was composed with live-recordings, which is paired with visuals from hand-drawn 2D and 3D animation, as well as documented and archive live-action footage. Sunset Singers is my graduation project at the KHM.

For this project, four songs reminiscent of the Cantopop of the 80s were composed by the team. Some of the songs are featured in the film. A couple of sunset singers were invited to record the songs with us. You can find the complete songlist uploaded by our records label, Sing Ping Entertainment, on youtube.
