story

A musician likes the animation I made last semester and said we can work together and submit the music video to film festivals.

He said the song is called HERO. Basically, the idea of the song is the protagonist is a nobody in the beginning and somehow realize his/her own value toward the end. He left the rest to me. So I link it with my monsters of New York idea.
