Dream Taipei: Children Build the City — 2026 Taipei Children’s Month Promotional Film

DESIGN CONCEPT

This promotional film was created for Taipei Children's Month, inspired by the concept of "Children Build the City." The story is told from a child's perspective, transforming Taipei's iconic landmarks into imaginative fantasy worlds filled with curiosity, adventure, and play. By blending live-action footage with AI-assisted visual compositing, the film preserves the warmth and authenticity of real environments while expanding them with imaginative visuals. The result is a vibrant world that reflects how children see, imagine, and recreate the city around them.

*Produced by YESIANG Film

Produced at Wild Elephant Studio.

PRODUCTION NOTES

This project marked my first experience using AI tools in a professional post-production workflow. Throughout the process, I faced challenges such as matching color grading between AI-generated assets and live-action footage, maintaining consistent camera perspectives, and ensuring the natural movement and realism of AI-generated elements.

I also incorporated AI-generated green-screen assets into the compositing process, seamlessly integrating them with live-action scenes. This approach preserved the emotional quality of the original footage while significantly expanding the visual possibilities. The experience demonstrated how AI can greatly reduce production time and costs, while opening up new creative opportunities for animation and visual storytelling.
