We’d like to thank our friend Director Redic Hsu (Lawa) for working with us and sharing his knowledge of the story-telling and filmmaking process, along with his personal experiences and feelings regarding animal welfare. Director Lawa is the recipient of the Golden Horse Award for Best Animated Short Film in 2016, with his work Wander in the Dark, an emotionally powerful look at the life of homeless animals. While attempting to imagine the experiences of a homeless animal, Wander in the Dark served as one of our first inspirations.

這學期，我們很榮幸能邀請到徐國峰 (拉瓦) 導演與我們合作，感謝他與學生分享關於說故事及電影製作過程的知識，以及他對動物福利方面的個人經歷和感受。拉瓦導演曾以《缺乏名字的場所》榮獲2016年金馬獎動畫短片獎, 短片富有感情的呈現了無家動物所面臨的生活。 當初學生們嘗試幻想流浪動物的經歷時，《缺乏名字的場所》是讓人感觸良多的啓發作品。

His lesson and Q&A session was a great way to get the students moving on the movie shooting process which was a part of our semester project. An important part of our originally planned physical art exhibition was to be a first person view which showed the experiences of a homeless dog. This task required thought and planning in storytelling, audience perception, and emotional messaging.

在本學期的專案中，學生的其中一項任務就是影片拍攝，而拉瓦導演的課程內容及問答環節在這方面為學生帶來了大大的助益。在原定的實體期末計畫中，一個很重要的部分就是將流浪狗的日常，以第一人稱的視角呈現給觀眾。為達此目的，學生需在講故事、觀眾感知參及情感傳遞等方面，進行全面性地思考與規劃。

Director Lawa also visited us a second time to offer feedback, suggestions, and encouragement in a workshop session towards the later parts of the process. We are quite honored to have his support and feel confident that our finished work is up to a level of quality that he would be happy having his name connected to!

拉瓦導演第二次蒞臨我們班級時，給予了學生許多作品上的反饋、建議及鼓勵。我們真心感到很榮幸能得到他的指導與支持，也有信心最終的作品品質能達到他的標準，而他也將很高興自己的名字能被我們在作品中提及！
