The animation style of Te Wei is quite distinct to that usually seen in either East or West, and most resembles traditional Chinese paintings, in light colours, and often with a softness of line, much like watercolours.
I recently viewed this excellent short film on a disc of animation by Te Wei. This one, called 'Feeling of Mountain and River' was my favourite on the disc, though 'The Cowboy's Flute' was also excellent.
This particular film consists almost entirely of images of landscapes and flowing water, and music played on the qin, a traditional zither-like instrument, though there is a back-story of the old qin-player instructing a child who aids him when he falls ill sick. The melodies are simple and superbly rendered, and the animation fits them perfectly, depicting scenes from nature, the movements of birds, animals and fish, plants, rivers, waterfalls, with consummate grace.
This short film really was a pleasure to watch, and had quite a calming effect on the senses.
