Naked Breakfast is an animated tale tracing a young woman's journey of seeking love and self-understanding. Exploring the intricate connection between intimacy and food, the work draws inspiration from the triangular theory of love—encompassing liking, infatuation, empty love, and consummate love—to guide the characters' voyage of self-discovery.

Visuals in the animation adopt a hand-drawn style that melds fantasy with reality. Warm hues dominate the color scheme, while carefully applied filters maintain a consistent visual ambiance across various scenes. The art direction is heavily influenced by breakfast establishments, constructing an enchanting "food amusement park" within the animated narrative.

The soundtrack features licensed songs from the independent Taiwanese band, Southern Boys, including "It's Just The End of the World" and "Erica," which enhance key scenes in the animation. Collaboration with sound mixers and composers resulted in original music that maintains the band's standard and complements the overall atmosphere of the animation. Recording sessions were conducted in a professional studio to ensure the music's quality.

This presents a remarkable chance for me to dive headfirst into creativity alongside my teams. Beyond managerial duties, I actively engage in the creative process by contributing to script-writing, directing, and designing the film's typography.

Independent production offers a challenging yet rewarding experience that helps sharpen my problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication abilities. It's the demanding circumstances and limited budget that drive me to leverage my skillets to overcome obstacles and guide the team towards success.
