During the whole conceptualising phase, I also interviewed many musicians, gathering references, watching many films -- I finalised/cleaned up my storyboards and had a locked animatic (which means timing, shots, and story all set) by mid December of the same year. I then started animation production in late January (the wildfires pushed my schedule back O_O) and basically animated, composited + did the sound/music simultaneously all the way up to April 2025! Watching my initial rough storyboard, I can't believe how far we've come with the idea, and that it feels so long ago yet it really isn't (it's only been 8 months).

A NEIGHBOUR DUET ♫ | Calarts Animated Film 2025 sakuraopal 2025-04-27 | A few weeks before the big competition, piano prodigy Hayden Chan gets into a musician block, leaving him to wonder why he is making music in the first place. While trying to find motivation to play the piano, a mysterious yet charming melody of a flute, seeming to be from a neighbour, catches his attention. 🎹🪈🎶♪ My 3rd year film at Calarts! This idea has been brewing in my head since I was seventeen, inspired by the many times I was practicing at home, as the piano in our house is next to a window. Finally, after many years I was able to bring it to life. I sincerely hope that this film made you love the art and beauty of music more! 在比賽前的幾週，九歲的鋼琴家陳梓傑練習時遇到迷惘，加上母親嚴格的責罵，開始懷疑自己當初為什麼愛上音樂。在努力尋找彈奏的動力時，一段來自鄰居的長笛旋律吸引了他的注意。⭐️ Official Selection - Rhode Island International Film Festival 2025⭐️ Official Selection - Los Angeles Lift-Off Film Festival 2025⭐️ Official Selection - TRIFEST Triplex International Youth Film Festival 2025---------------🌸 A FILM BY VEDA LEE↠ instagram.com/sakuraopal↠ sakuraopal.carrd.co↠ sakuraopal.com (portfolio)✉ Please email me for business collaborations!

[粵] TO THE CLASS OF US 鐘聲響起 | 香港動畫 Animated Short 2024 🎓 sakuraopal 2024-08-26 | 高中畢業的那一天，兩位朋友學會了如何告別過去，但更重要的是，如何彼此告別。🌃在加州藝術學院的第二年作品！這部電影最初是受我個人困難的啟發--適應在大學新生活的種種困難，離開了我一生熟悉的環境，開始全新的生活等等。但通過這個過程，不僅完成了這動畫片，我並學會了像我動畫中的人物一樣，如何放下過去。另外，粵語版也邀請了高中一直跟開的跳舞老師So Ching為角色配音，看到她這幾年的成長我也很感動。On high school graduation day, two friends learn how to say goodbye to the past -- and most importantly, to each other. 🎓The Cantonese version has finally come! I've been wanting to do this ever since the beginning days of film production and the wait is finally over! This took a while to make, mainly searching for voice actors as well as changing lip sync, details etc. As I was born and raised in Hong Kong, I really wanted to make a Cantonese version specifically, as it's my mother tongue, and the language that my loved ones speak -- I also hope to reach more people, especially those from my home! :-)---------------🌸 導演+音樂 FILM, MUSIC and SOUND DESIGN by VEDA LEE↠ instagram.com/sakuraopal↠ sakuraopal.carrd.co↠ sakuraopal.com (portfolio)~ 'Curtain Call' (To The Class Of Us theme) ~youtu.be/B-rddATK0Jo'TO THE CLASS OF US' PROCESS VIDEOyoutube.com/watch?v=kha7wNrYkWAENGLISH VERSION HERE!youtu.be/MjrI3VKqz8I?si=cfLG_RuoKwO9yx8f🎙 配音 VOICESVivian Ng voiced by SO CHING ↠ instagram.com/soching_natDawn Ha voiced by HERMAN KUNGKaraoke guy voiced by CHUN KIT FONG (+additional colour help, and guitar!

TO THE CLASS OF US | Calarts Animated Film 2024 🎓 sakuraopal 2024-04-22 | On high school graduation day, two friends learn how to say goodbye to the past -- and most importantly, to each other. 🎓My second year film at Calarts! This has truly been a journey -- from the beginning to completion. This film was initially made inspired by my own, personal hardships of being able adjust to a new life in college, leaving the environment I've known my whole life behind and starting anew (which I've talked about quite a bit in my past vlogs if you've been watching my content for a while). However, throughout the process I've learned and grown so much, not only in the sense of completing my film, but most importantly, I also learned how to let go of the past -- along with my film characters throughout this film. Plus, this film even got to turn into a little high school reunion project with my friends who voice acted in the film!Also, if you would like to check out merch for the film and support me, please considering giving one of my products a home! ↠ sakuartshop.bigcartel.com高中畢業的那一天，兩位朋友學會了如何告別過去，但更重要的是，如何彼此告別。🌃在加州藝術學院的第二年作品！這部電影最初是受我個人困難的啟發--適應在大學新生活的種種困難，離開了我一生熟悉的環境，開始全新的生活等等。但通過這個過程，不僅就是完成了這動畫片，我並學會了像我動畫中的人物一樣，如何放下過去。加上，這部電影還成為了一個小型高中同學聚會項目，我的朋友們在電影中為角色配音！（現在在做這動畫的粵語配音版--希望大家可以密切留意～）🌟 Best Animated Short Nominee - Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival 2024🌟 Honorable Mention - MY HERO International Short Film Festival 2024🌟 Honorable Mention - Montreal International Animation Film Festival - ANIMAZE 2025🌟 Special Mention - Asia Film Art International Film Festival 2024⭐️ Official Selection - Shanghai International Short Week 2024⭐️ Official Selection - Los Angeles Lift-Off Film Festival 2024⭐️ Official Selection - Hong Kong Kids International Film Festival 2024⭐️ Official Selection - First-Time Filmmaker Sessions - by Lift-Off Global Network 2024⭐️ Official Selection - YoFiFest 2024 ⭐️ Semi Finalist - Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival 2024---------------🌸 FILM, MUSIC and SOUND DESIGN by me!↠ instagram.com/sakuraopal↠ sakuraopal.carrd.co↠ sakuraopal.com (portfolio)~ 'Curtain Call' (To The Class Of Us theme) ~youtu.be/B-rddATK0Jo'TO THE CLASS OF US' PROCESS VIDEOyoutube.com/watch?v=kha7wNrYkWA🎙 VOICESVivian Ng voiced by ISABELLA WEI↠ instagram.com/izabearlurDawn Ha voiced by YOONG AHN↠ instagram.com/ahny04Karaoke guy voiced by CHUN KIT FONG (+additional colour help, and guitar)↠ instagram.com/ckuuart🌏 Thank you to my friends Emma, Sumin, as well as members of sakudiscord Baka, Ana, Kat, Laibaaaaa, Tam, Cöökie, for helping me translate this film into multiple languages!
