This is an animation story of a veteran's lifetime, who fought for his home country when he was young, but memories gradually dissipated away day after day and fell into loneliness without any help. In the end it turns out that all this is due to Alzheimer’s disease.
China is the country with the most Alzheimer's disease patients in the world. At the same time, China also having a large number of elderly veterans, and majority of them are living below the poverty line. Therefore they are deeply threatened by Alzheimer's disease and suffer from it.
Instead of using CG graphic to animate, we used a more challenging hand-drawn style to create it all frame by frame. Therefore it definitely requested high balancing between every lines and their smoothness in the animation. Every single frame need to craft accordingly to remain the entire hand drawing style, and when convert it into moving animation, increase and modification among each frames length to enhance the hand-painted jitter feeling. The reversing of the time axis has high requirements on controlling the rhythm of animation, match with music pace and also editing to having a same length on the back and forth.
