The Legend of Lin Ban-Sian  林半仙傳說 

2021, 3min 33Sec.

This is a folk legend from the Lin-Yuan area of Taiwan, about a geographer from China. The local people called him Lin Ban-sian, the name “Ban-sian” means that he is a prophet. He stayed in Lin-Yuan by chance, because the local people believe in feng shui, and there are many special terrains with feng shui terms, and this story connects these geographical terms into a story. The animation story is a collaboration between local elementary school students and a group of university volunteers majoring in animation. The elementary school students are involved in the production of characters and scene design, as well as the actual filming process. The university students assisted them in the operation and guidance, and performed the local legendary story from the children's perspective.

​

這是一個來自於台灣林園地區的民間傳說，述說一位來自於中國的地理師，因爲神通廣大被稱為林半仙，半仙是指可以通達天意的人，他因為機緣巧合而留在林園，因為當地人篤信風水，有許多特殊地形皆有風水名詞，這個故事將這些地理名詞串連成故事。林半仙動畫故事是由當地小學生，與一群主修動畫的大學生志工合作，小學生參與從角色製作與場景設計，到實際拍片過程，大學生來協助他們操作與指導，由小朋友的角度來表演當地的傳說故事。
