The animated short film based on her own childhood experience in Wuhan China, WINDUP, tells the story of a father trying to stay connected with his unconscious daughter through music. He plays a windup music box and hopes she can hear it while fighting with his own emotions to stay strong. Meanwhile, his daughter follows the melody in her dreams and looks for a way back. WINDUP is a nine-minute animated short written and directed by an emerging female Chinese filmmaker Yibing Jiang, and Animation Director Jason Keane. Keane has a long family legacy in animation, which includes, his grandfather Bill Keane (Family Circus comics) and his uncles Jeff Keane; and Glenn Keane, (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Tarzan, and Tangled). WINDUP was also a collaboration with artists working remotely from around the world, created in real-time with Unity. At a time when we are feeling isolated, craving connection and preoccupied with the health and well-being of loved ones, the theme of the film is an uplifting and universal one that highlights the fragile nature of life, love, resiliency and the healing power of music, told through the eyes of a father and the special bond he shares with his ailing young daughter. Director Yibing Jiang and Artistic Director Jason Keane stop by to talk about their work and vision for this heartwarming and beautiful animated film.To find out more or to watch go to: unity.com/demos/windup

Windup / Film School Radio interview with Director Yibing Jiang and Artistic Director Glenn Keane

Jason Keane

It's all about the heartfelt enchantment of animation, music, and the love of a father-daughter, plus the power of redemption and family on this week's #BTLRadioShow thanks to special guests YIBING JIANG &amp; JASON KEANE, plus our exclusive interview with director FISHER STEVENS!  Joining us live today to talk about the very special animated short film (award-worthy Oscar consideration, folks!!), WINDUP, are writer/director YIBING JIANG and animation director JASON KEANE. Emotionally exquisite, this may well be the best 9 minutes and 55 seconds you ever spent watching a film. It is truly the beating heart of love as we watch the tale of a father and young daughter unfold. Take a listen Yibing talks about the birth of the story and bringing it to life while Jason goes into detail about the animation style and use of color, while each weighs in on the importance of music in not only the creative scoring process as a whole but specifically as to the accompanying animation, not to mention their love of the animated format of storytelling.   And could there be a WINDUP feature film in the works?  Listen and you'll find out!  WINDUP is available to watch for FREE on YouTube!  But before Yibing and Jason, take a listen to our prerecorded exclusive interview with director FISHER STEVENS talking about his new film, PALMER. Known for his work as an actor, director, writer, and producer for the past more than three decades, Fisher has spent much of the past decade producing and directing documentaries (THE COVE, RACING EXTINCTION), so it takes a lot for him to direct a narrative feature. It has to "say" something. With PALMER, starring Justin Timberlake, Fisher jumps into the director's chair and delivers a gut-punching tale about second chances, family, and hope. Listen as Fisher and I go deep into the making of PALMER, from script to financing to casting (Ryder Allen! The find of the year!) to the story behind Justin Timberlake's casting to the visual mastery of cinematographer Tobias Schliesser to praying for cloudy weather to Tamar Kali's score to editing and pacing and so much more!http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
