Research
I attended the Edinburgh Blues and Jazz concert and found their set interesting – the projected video responded to the rhythm of the music so that the audience could simultaneously feel a stronger resonance on the audition. They take on abstract and realistic usages for different music and scenarios.

I learned to create animations that change according to the music, and decided to merge them into the projection video.

Design of audio-visual coordination
To direct the audience’s attention to a specific screen, we ingeniously used 5.1 surround sound along with strategic changes in the front and back screen spaces. In this way, the audience is able to naturally turn in the desired direction based on the visual-sound interaction.
Light and shadow
The shadow play in the opening credits aims to create mystery and intrigue. At the end of the movie, the shadow play mirrors the opening, implying the carp has returned to its cage.
