Lei Lei (RAY) - This is not a time to lie

Sin argumento, guión o storyboard alguno. Así encaró Lei Lei (RAY) la creación de su animación This is not a time to lie, en la que seguimos a su protagonista en un alucinado viaje a través de un paisaje creado a base de libros antiguos. "Mi padre era un diseñador de libros. A través de él he descubierto una gran cantidad de libros y sus hermosas portadas, en las que me he inspirado en este cortometraje". Sobre la música de Li Xingyu, escuchamos al freestyler J-fever. "En realidad no hacemos Rap con palabras malsonantes, es más como un poema"

I’m scared, I don’t dare look ahead
This isn’t a time to lie
(Mountains and water, characters and objects in the film
are all made with old book cover)

Dialogue list:

I’m scared, I don’t dare look ahead
This isn’t a time to lie
I wouldn’t dare close my eyes, if I could
At this moment in time my whole body is listening.
Please forgive me. Please don’t hang up the phone.
Hold the rope tight and string us together
Relax a bit, buddy, I’m talking to myself
I can hear water. Are you grinding your teeth?

I’ll write you a letter. I’m harnessing in
My lips are torn and the hawks are eyeing me
We might as well do it now. life dangles by a thread of time
If the next flight is successful, seize the sky

I want to dance, I’m suddenly happy
I can feel my whole body shaking
I’m not scared at all, I’ve become a dot
I’ve become a button on a shirt, living there eternally

I’m scared, I don’t dare look ahead
This isn’t a time to lie
I wouldn’t dare close my eyes, if I could
At this moment in time my whole body is listening.
Yesterday morning I decided to put on my shoes
A minute ago I looked up and it became truthful
Everything’s safe, serene as a rain shower
My heart’s in my mouth, how can I say I love you

I need a comb to put under the sole of my shoe
I need a sole to separate myself from the world
A village, a café, some beer, and a fish
Get a suitcase, lock it up, and put it here

I’ll leave every comma there
That’s a road, the rhythm is in my back pocket
I’ll write you a letter
This is a time to lie
