The reason that why I chose cars as my inspiration is because it is my passion and what I live for. I like to play car toys since I was 3 years old. Once I was getting 16, I bagged my parents to allow me learning how to drive. In my 18-year-old birthday, I got my qualified driving license. I still can remember the excited and happiness that little book has given to me. I owned my first sport car on the same year as a gift from my father. With his company, my 16 years’ car dreams finally can be placed until I came to New York. New York is a big city, concerning about the problem of traffic jam, parking area, as well as time management, owning a car becomes extremely hard. The longer I stay here, the more I desire a car, a home for me personally, my heart and my soul. I want to touch the steering wheel and the exhaust from the car, but the reality my drive license and the unfamiliar feeling. So I just bought some Lego cars to achieve my little goal. I use the Lego toy car as the point to show my passion on cars and really want to own a car. The bad weather show that my personal mood, sadness.I use camera to catch different type of rainy day to show the mood. And I close to the toy car very close to give the audience like my view, I really like car and look very details about the Lego toy. The same camera technique on the real car, I “image” go to the show room and look the car very carefully. About myself, I have some action about my mood and eyes focus on the road, all means I can’t leave without a car. Every footage not only around the topic but also have the different emotion and the relation between my passion and cars. A good video, the back music also very important. The whole video I edit 4 musics, it helps me to tell audience the different plots and my feeling.
