Factory
All animals on this planet are creatures that share existence with human beings and deserve to be free. However, animals have been tormented by the human race for too long. In the animated film “Factory,” I ask the viewer to take the animals' point of view, and show them the relationships between human and human, and between human and nonhuman, but from within a world of other super-intelligent creatures.

Factory Hand drawn animation 2013 |
We humans know that animals are conscious. They are afraid of death and want to survive. When we kill them, their bodies secrete poisonous hormones, which are not good for humans to eat. Based on this, I developed this animation. The dinosaurs built an amusement food factory. Here humans are wined and dined and once they ‘re good and happy, they chop humans’ heads off. This way there's no poisonous hormone secreted by the human’s body and their meat tastes better. I use black and white in this animation except the blood, the meat, and the brand of this factory, which I want to strengthen and highlight.
