[粵] TO THE CLASS OF US 鐘聲響起 | 香港動畫 Animated Short 2024 🎓

高中畢業的那一天，兩位朋友學會了如何告別過去，但更重要的是，如何彼此告別。🌃

在加州藝術學院的第二年作品！這部電影最初是受我個人困難的啟發--適應在大學新生活的種種困難，離開了我一生熟悉的環境，開始全新的生活等等。但通過這個過程，不僅完成了這動畫片，我並學會了像我動畫中的人物一樣，如何放下過去。另外，粵語版也邀請了高中一直跟開的跳舞老師So Ching為角色配音，看到她這幾年的成長我也很感動。

On high school graduation day, two friends learn how to say goodbye to the past -- and most importantly, to each other. 🎓

The Cantonese version has finally come! I've been wanting to do this ever since the beginning days of film production and the wait is finally over! This took a while to make, mainly searching for voice actors as well as changing lip sync, details etc. As I was born and raised in Hong Kong, I really wanted to make a Cantonese version specifically, as it's my mother tongue, and the language that my loved ones speak -- I also hope to reach more people, especially those from my home! :-)
