LE COUPLE is an animated graduate thesis film with a total timescale of 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The intent of LE COUPLE is to talk about a story of love, but not in a clichéd manner. Since Jieting Chen and I worked together before, we have a very strong personal connection. As usual, we wanted to make the film into a comedy.
The film is a hand-drawn animation that was produced primarily in TVPaint Animation Software.
