We sometimes forget to save important files and lose the data. In the video, a character who loses his files gets mad and he is looking for a back-up data inside the computer. The back-up data got absorbed by the screen so he enters a computer world. He chases after the back-up data, going through all hardships in front of him but he defends well against the. After a few stages, he finally gets the back-up data and it begins to back up all his files.

By using the characters and colors representing myself the film illustrates my personal experiences showing a journey to find backup files from beginning to the end.
A turning point for ever-changing color, from red tones to blue, as one enters the software world to recover backup files ultimately representing the inside of a computer.

In comparison to the real world, the density or animation moving speed of the elements are rapid and dramatic.
Entering the system, an intertwined space, where all database is found in the digital world amidst numerous complex elements with the ceaselessly arithmetic operation and programs, we experience the most urgent and immediate feeling of the environment. In the space, characters run continuously struggling to get out of the maze. When he ultimately exits the system, the exhausted character takes a moment to breathe.
