Tainan Fantage

Using 3D and CG compositing technologies, Taiwanese creators combined religion and history to create a new IP that lead audience to step into Tainan's special timezone from the daily rush with a perspective of fantasy. The audience will see both the old and the new of the city through character's eyes, rethinking about the relationship between time and the pace of life, as well as experience a gentle greeting from an oldest city in Taiwan.

Director Statement

As the cultural capital of Taiwan with a long history and the largest number of temples, Tainan is different from other fast-paced cities. It has always been known for its leisurely and slow pace, which is why many people love the city.

When talking about how to enhance a city's image in its related video, instead of making a collection of clichés scenic spots without meanings, we wanted to create a story that was more related to the local culture that reflecting citizen's daily activities. In the end, we chose to emphasize on a point of view that Tainan seems to have its own time zone. We tried to tell a short story resembling to the Dream of Southern Branch or Alice in Wonderland.

Using 3D and CG compositing technologies, our team invited Taiwanese creators combining religion and history to create a new IP that lead audience to step into Tainan's special timezone, from the daily rush with a perspective of fantasy. The audience will see both the old and the new of the city through character's eyes, rethinking about the relationship between time and the pace of life, as well as experience a gentle greeting from Tainan.
