16-18-4 (2008, Japan, 35mm, silent, 2.5 min.) This film was shot with a still camera with 16 lenses, which takes a series of 16 pictures within 1.5 seconds, fitting onto two normal frame areas. The film shows the sense of the event at Tokyo Racecourse, when it was holding the biggest race of the year, Japanese Derby (Tokyo Yushun). The excitement of each race lasts 2 minutes and 30 seconds. |

Frame Work (2003, US, 16mm, sound, 3 min.) Inspired by a work by Ariana Gerstein, my very first filmmaking teacher at SUNY Binghamton, I made this piece for her Filmmaking class, trying to express the feelings I had while processing, optical-printing and editing the film. |
