Successful Transition
Creative advertising is an effective way to grab people’s attention. In Taiwan (2016-2019), I primarily worked with government agencies, focusing on policy promotion videos. In France (2020-2021), the ads I worked on were commercial, frequently collaborating directly with marketing teams.
Captivating Effects
These ads rely heavily on creative concepts and strong visual effects to engage online users.
Targeted Communication
Advertising is constantly evolving: from TV commercials and podcasts to short-form social media videos, ads are woven into our daily lives. My job is to provide the most tailored communication solutions for your product.

Interviews
Diverse Experience
Interviewss are the type of video I produce most frequently. Since joining my first company, Quote, in Taiwan in 2015, I have worked across a wide variety of interview formats.
Practical Examples
On this page, I showcase examples of short online interviews I produced at Kwit in France, along with one of my recent interviews for MakerPro in Taiwan. I was involved in every stage, from communicating interview outlines and setting up equipment to actual filming (acting as Assistant Director, Camera Operator, and Sound Mixer) and post-production editing. I am highly proficient in this field.
Linguistic Proficiency
I can confidently say that language is not a barrier but rather one of my core strengths, allowing me to transition seamlessly between Chinese, English, and French. I am also highly adaptable, tailoring interview formats to suit the subject’s needs. Without a doubt, video interviews are the type of project I am most comfortable with.

Social Media Videos
Types of Videos
What is motion graphics for social media? There are various types of videos for social media platforms. For instance, YouTube videos (horizontal), Facebook videos, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikToks (vertical), among others. These formats help diversify content, which can positively impact SEO.
Branding Reinforcement and SEO Optimization
Great social media content not only strengthens brand identity but also optimizes search engine visibility, increasing the chances of being discovered and appreciated by a broader audience.
Content Repurposing
In addition to originally produced content, marketing teams often ask me to repurpose and recycle existing assets into short-form videos. These are targeted at specific demographics across various platforms, utilizing strategic themes and keywords to maximize exposure.

Three girls from the marketing team—Emilie, Lisa, and Justine—went to Paris to support the VivaTech exhibition. We took this opportunity to enrich our social media content. During their stay in Paris, they shot some great footage. Later, I edited the content using Premiere Pro and After Effects.
I am really happy with the result. Part of the reason is that I enjoy watching YouTube videos for entertainment and have always wanted to replicate certain special effects. This project was the perfect opportunity to learn and execute the visual effects I’ve always wanted to try.
Short Films
The Potential of Short Films
Before working on today’s social media videos, I studied at Taiwan’s top film school (incidentally, its alumni include Oscar-winning Hollywood director Ang Lee, known for “Life of Pi”). Between 2011 and 2016, I was involved in the production of various types of short films. Long before the era of YouTube and TikTok, I already understood the potential and depth that short-form storytelling could offer.
Types of Short Films
During my studies, I participated in shooting various narrative and non-narrative short films, including horror shorts, crazy comedies, famous film recreations, as well as documentaries and experimental films. Most of these were class projects, reflecting the boldness and creativity of youth. Today, I remain convinced that cinema, as the eighth art—now evolved to include short formats—still holds infinite potential.
Roles Held
In short film production, I have held various roles. In addition to working with the directing and screenwriting teams, I also worked in the art, camera, lighting, and sound departments. As a result, I have substantial understanding and hands-on experience in every department and task related to filmmaking.

“Little Red Riding Hood,” which is about 1 minute long, won the Best Cinematography award at the 2011 Travel Safety Short Film Competition organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan.
The film tells the story of a little girl who comes up with an idea to travel safely. To avoid the dangers of the forest, she ties a linen thread between herself and her mother. At the end of the film, a slogan appears, saying:
She uses a thread, what about you? Wherever you go, it’s best to keep your loved ones informed for your own safety.
Scénario :
I wrote the script based on a very simple concept: the red linen thread. In the story, it acts like a telephone wire connecting people. Furthermore, I used ‘Little Red Riding Hood,’ a fairytale character who instantly catches the eye without needing any extra backstory. This is highly effective for a short film that lasts only one minute.

‘‘Bloody Tree’, a short film running about five minutes, is the first film I directed in France. During my summer stays in France, I took the initiative to capture the beauty of the Alsace landscape. As a third-year film student, after taking a directing class that deeply inspired me, I wanted to create a fictional piece with a touch of humor.
So, I asked my family and friends to help me out. Even though none of them had prior video experience, they were all incredibly motivated to support the project. Despite equipment limitations, we managed to shoot this short film in just two half-days. After all, it’s just for fun!
This film is much more personal since it wasn’t restricted by any academic or professional guidelines. I developed the script entirely on my own this time. Because there were no other trained crew members, I was in charge of the entire shoot.
Additionally, I handled the editing and post-production effects.

March 23, 2014, was a historic moment in Taiwan, known today as the Sunflower Student Movement. That night, a group of students broke into the Legislative Yuan (Taiwan’s parliament) to protest against a government decision made in favor of China. Later that night, riot police arrived and used unjustified violence to remove the students.
That night, I was a witness to this movement. Participating in a political protest for the first time, the scene left me deeply shocked. That’s why I decided to document it. The film might be too dramatic to be considered a strictly neutral documentary; however, I’m glad I recorded it. I handled the framing alongside my friend, as well as the editing.
‘Dig-In,’ running approximately eleven minutes, is a short film my classmates and I produced in 2012. The theme revolves around dark humor and horror.
‘Dig-In’ is a 16mm celluloid film. Shooting on film is becoming increasingly rare, and operating a camera like the SRII is highly uncommon and certainly more expensive. However, we wanted this incredibly rewarding experience. We are quite proud of how this horror short turned out.
This short film was part of our bachelor’s degree project (a four-year program) at the National Taiwan University of Arts. We were a group of twelve students sharing the project’s responsibilities, and I served as the Art Designer. The pre-production phase was undoubtedly the most exhausting, yet the most fascinating.
I spent countless weekends scouring flea markets to collect suitable furniture and props. During the week, I worked extensively on set dressing (wallpaper, furniture, lighting, overall atmosphere…).
Pendant le tournage, il y avait deux difficultés principales : la première était le
bruit de la pompe à oxygène des
poissons, qui n’était pas compatible avec
l’enregistrement du son. Nous avons donc dû l’éteindre à plusieurs reprises lorsque nous tournions en faisant attention de la remettre en marche le plus vite possible pour ne pas impacter la santé des poissons. La deuxième était l’espace disponible dans l’appartement de tournage.
Because the space was tight, and considering the large crew required (the heat didn’t help either), I spent much of my time ensuring the set remained intact and properly arranged. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the hard work we poured into this film. From the script to the staging, I loved every single step.
