Lost Tracks is a fantasy and puzzle mobile game. The game combines ideas, metaphor and plot very well. The game tells that the male protagonist started from falling in love at first sight, and after a long and complicated mental journey, finally courageous to the female The protagonist tells the story.
The operation experience of this game is not as strong as the action-oriented puzzle game, but its unique listening and speaking interaction design are very novel, allowing players to immerse themselves into the storytelling.
In the process of idea production, the angle of considering multiple senses into the game will undoubtedly enhance the interaction of the game.
This is an animation from the chainsaw series of Japanese clay animation artist Takena Nagao. His series of clay animations follow a unified creative style, bloody violence and cult. I really like his simple story unit. His clay sculptures are rich in colour, and there are strong beauty and bloody contrast.
The animator combined fairy tales with blood, this is a black fairy tale for adults. I think the soundtrack and sound effects of this series are also very outstanding. Moreover, the expressiveness of clay is more intense in the lens than an ordinary 2D animation.

‘The maker’ is a short musical animated film produced by director Christopher Kezelos in 2011. Under the dim light, the clay rabbit rabbits opened the mysterious notes. The hourglass is upside down. He wants to create the person he loves in a limited time.
The degree of completion of the work is very high, and the classic aesthetics are incorporated into the work. The metaphor of love is reincarnation and destiny. The main content of the entire animation is 5:30 seconds, with a weird style of painting, gloomy and strong colours, and precise details. Its first impression is so catching, and the ending is even more thought-provoking. The narrative becomes an infinite closed loop
The production of animation can create a lot of connotations that can not be expressed by live-action movies, which is the particularity of animation language.
