A bus driver had enough of the fidgets and chaos from his life and job. Guided by a black cat, he transfers his job environment alone, thinking that annoying crowd will be shaken off. However, until the bus station is empty, he suddenly finds himself unable to stay alone as the crowd disappears. Panic makes him search again, but people have gone away from him….
The story subject is composed of self’s various petty notions when living in a strange city, mainly stating the yearning for living all alone while living in a city….Whether one could still be really comfortable once he is really alone? The moving scenes are used for reinforcing the role’s loneliness.
Realistic texture on light and shadow is always the direction being developed hard in computer graphics, while non-realistic texture provides modern animation art creators more space for art communication. Taking this creation as an example, the adopted expression technique is to construct images by the advantages of these two texture styles, such as realistic texture’s accurate computing on light and shadow and non-realistic texture’s outline drawing and hand-drawing texture. Via integrating the expression techniques of two textures and reinforcing texture level and visual style expression, the creation will present diversified graphic expressions.
