“How to spend the long eastern summer? Taking a whiff of the scent of heated asphalt, leisurely cycling along the country lanes. Is there anything that will never fade away? A thought nestled in the heart or a bookmark tucked inside a book. Last week, I stumbled upon a necklace by the stream, like it belonged to some lovebirds. feeling like I‘ve seen this one somewhere before...”

Last summer, we, a bunch of ten people, took a trip together to the eastern part of Taiwan. Inspired by Dreamgirl's song "Teenage Blue," we created a music video. We had only two days to shoot, and it was our first time doing outdoor filming, including locations like Chike Mountain and Rose Valley, which posed various challenges. As if by magic, we were blessed with not only clear weather but also one of the most beautiful orange flower seas we could have ever dreamed of. To capture the breathtaking Rose Valley, we had to carry all the equipment through river tracing. For safety, in addition to a preliminary site visit, we also enlisted the lead of a professional guide on the day of the shoot.

Leighton said that it was her first time swimming naked in nature, and she even had to swim through an area where it was impossible to touch the ground. To prepare, she had been training in swimming for two months, heading to the pool every week. With the support and determination of everyone, she did it! We captured a red-haired mermaid in the stunning emerald green creek in the best August ever.
