Golden Pin 2016 Call for Entry
The video was crafted during my tenure at Bito Studio in Taiwan. As an Associate Art Director for this project, I collaborated closely with the director and the team, overseeing design, sound, editing, motion, and art direction.
This video, 'Earth.Heaven', blends ideas from ancient Chinese culture with contemporary design to explain to audiences across the globe what it means to design for and within huaren (Chinese-speaking) communities.
Bito explores the Golden Pin Design Award's 2016 theme of 'Heaven and Earth' (天地 or Tian Di in Chinese), which is derived from the Chinese cosmological framework of the three universal elements of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity as highlighted in the ancient Chinese divination text, I Ching (also known as the Book of Changes in English). The dot (.) in the studio's highly abstract creation represents the huaren designer flowing between the realms of Heaven and Earth on a constant search for inspiration.
