  The director introduces the idea and production sequence, followed by live feedback on storytelling, continuity and closing-title layout.

  • Around 00:04: observing a child writing a name led to the premise of losing one’s name and becoming unnoticed.
  • Around 00:57: script and sketched storyboard → generated images and shots → After Effects for complex shots → Jianying for editing.
  • Around 01:34: the reviewer praises visual consistency and visual storytelling, while suggesting more setup.
  • Around 03:40: feedback addresses museum-shot continuity and space for text over the closing image.

  This is a creator Q&A, not a complete shot-by-shot tutorial. The reviewer and competition round are unconfirmed; these comments do not establish HKUST’s reasons for awarding the film.
