《MOONLIGHT》
"Moonlight" is a captivating and energetic song that tells a story, dedicated to the sleepless kids of Neverland. Its lyrics are like a riddle, initially puzzling but gradually revealing a desire to rediscover the artist's original inspiration, beautifully complemented by the director's script.
The story follows two kids on a treasure hunt, metaphorically representing the universal anxiety artists face during the creative process. It echoes the belief that creativity is a search for treasure, where despite occasional confusion, persistence leads to eventual discovery.
As the music video editor, I embark on a thrilling treasure hunt. Exploring unfamiliar footage sparks curiosity, while discovering hidden gems brings immense satisfaction. One such gem was a serendipitous shot of a jet, adding a charming comic-book touch that resonates with the scene of the protagonists reading comics in the car. Interpreting the photographer's perspective, assessing performances and aesthetics, and experimenting with combinations create unique effects. Collaboration with an amazing team, united by a shared sense of aesthetics, is crucial. Just as the brothers support each other in the music video, remarkable creations require collective effort and interdependence. Editing this MV has been therapeutic, and I aim to convey that healing power to all who watch it.

《Moonlight》是一首極具故事性和節奏能量的歌曲，是寫給居住在夢幻島上的失眠孩子們的。
這首歌的歌詞彷彿一道謎語，初聽之下難以立即理解其含義，但搭配導演的劇本設計，漸漸能感受到它是一首想要找回創作初衷的歌曲。
劇情透過兩個小孩不斷尋找寶藏的故事，暗喻了藝術家在創作時所普遍面臨的焦慮。
以剪接的觀點來看，創作確實像是在追尋寶藏的工作：
一開始觀賞未知的素材時，就像一個淘金者，打開了好奇的視野。我非常喜歡挖掘素材中的亮點，只要找到了，就會感到非常滿足。
就像這次挖掘到的亮點，是攝影師偶然拍攝到的噴射機畫面，真的讓整支MV變得有如漫畫般，與主角們在車上看漫畫的場景形成了呼應，非常可愛。
在觀賞素材時，除了關注演員的演出和鏡頭美感之外，解讀攝影師的拍攝意圖也是其中一個重要的方面。試圖猜測攝影師在拍攝這個鏡頭時的想法，有助於抓住鏡頭的重點。然後將這些重點在腦海中收集起來，不同的排列組合會產生不同的效果，這些都在我的腦海中不斷思考著⋯
而我最幸福的時刻，就是碰見美感真的非常棒的劇組夥伴們，這一切都是團隊合作、環環相扣的結果，
能夠創作出好作品是無法僅靠一個人完成的，就像MV中的兄弟兩人互相扶持一樣。剪輯這支MV同時也療癒了現階段的我，希望透過我的詮釋，能帶給所有觀眾們力量。
