WITH GREAT CREATIVITY: THE MOON ALSO RISES

Nov 25, 2017

Creating a production so uncommon as this requires an unorthodox style and approach. Yao Yu sought out and enlisted lauded editor Aijia Li (who also served as colorist and sound designer for the film) to complement, and sometimes challenge her aims. Aijia reveals, “Yao YU is a pure artist and as such, has different thinking patterns and perspectives from most other people. It’s what makes them special but goes hand in hand with the need for more communication. Imagine if you’d never seen a helicopter and someone was describing a way for you to build one. The ideas she came up with would sometimes scare me and other times made me laugh out of surprise. The film needs a lot of re-creating work in editing. It was a challenge and a reaffirming experience.”
