A Deca joins Story

這次的影像紀錄了樂團deca joins第一次登上台北流行音樂中心的過程。
看完素材後,我決定以登台前的焦慮與懷疑作為開頭,而在真正登上舞台後,成員們反而卸下心中大石,全然享受表演,這成為整部片故事的主軸。
這次表演也是他們成立十週年的里程碑。在演出過程中,影片慢慢展示了團員之間的過往經歷,傳達那種無可取代的革命情感。

初剪完成後,我和導演Roger進行了密集討論。原本的結尾收在謝幕,但導演提出了一個新想法:
「讓結尾呈現團員們繼續拿起樂器練習,而不是結束於這次的演出。」
如此巧妙的安排,除了能帶出deca joins奉獻了自己的生命給音樂,也傳達了他們將繼續走下去的感動。

我一直很喜歡製作與創作有關的紀錄片,無論是音樂、創意還是建築,
因為這讓我能接觸到其他創作者最私密的想法,也能從中找到與自己創作歷程共鳴的地方。
我認為任何形式的創作都是美麗的,儘管創造這些美麗的過程充滿痛苦,但也正是戰勝了痛苦,才能誕生獨一無二且富含生命力的作品。

This video captures deca joins' first performance at Taipei Music Center.
I chose to start with their pre-show anxiety and then highlight how they fully enjoyed the stage once they started performing.
This storyline underscores their journey and camaraderie as they celebrate their tenth anniversary.

After the rough edit, director Roger suggested ending with the band picking up their instruments again, symbolizing their ongoing dedication to music. This change added a touching sense of continuity to the documentary.

I've always enjoyed working on documentaries related to creativity, whether it's music, art, or architecture.
It allows me to connect with the intimate thoughts of other creators and find resonance with my own creative journey.
I believe that any form of creation is beautiful.
The process of creating these beautiful works may be painful, but it is through overcoming this pain that unique masterpieces are born.
