My LIAF Animation Final Pitch

The story Magic Ball, which is from the theme of “From Absurd to Zany” in London International Animation Festival in 2022.

The story shows Yifeis’ grandfather has a special magic ball, Yifei is very curious about it. On his birthday, his grandfather tells him what is in the magic ball, which is a story in it.

At the beginning of the story, Yifeis’ grandfather has a precious magic ball in the bookcase. Yifei really wants to look the magic ball, but his grandfather not allowed him to look it.

However, because of Yifeis’ 10 years old birthday, his grandfather realizes his dream and shows the magic ball to his grandson.

Then, Yifei asks about what is in the magic ball, his grandfather says: A story is about grandfather talking to his grandson a story.

Next, moving the camera into the magic ball and shows another background.

Changing the time and style, Yifei asks about what is in the magic ball, his grandfather said: A story is about grandfather talking to his grandson a story.

Moving the camera into the magic ball and shows another background. Changing the time and style, Yifei asked about what is in the magic ball, his grandfather said: A story is about grandfather talking to his grandson a story.

Three times, and moving the camera into the magic ball and shows the modern background again. Yifei feels boring and says: There are always grandfather talking to his grandson a story.

Grandfather realizes that his ancestors always talk this magic ball to this offspring like that, he says: A story? Finally, he laughs.
