咖啡戀人Café de L'amour

咖啡的香郁、愛情的甜美、巴黎的浪漫
相識、相戀、相愛的過程，
就如同一杯濃醇咖啡的精雕細琢，
穿越巴黎市區的浪漫，
從咖啡豆到精緻粉末，
由滾水熱燙到綿密奶泡，
這是咖啡店的老闆娘的愛情故事，
享受人生，享受愛。

Café de L'amour運用巴黎的建築樣貌來設計煮咖啡的機關，包含了兩隻木偶演出的愛情故事­。在這個愛的旅程中，女孩遠渡重洋來到巴黎，首先體驗巴黎歌劇院的藝術饗宴，接著在地­鐵中遇到了男孩，經過新藝術時期的地下鐵入口，兩人一同拜訪紅磨坊，到了聖心堂產生愛­苗，經過拉維特公園，龐畢度，塞納河，在聖母院感情更加溫熱；繼續旅行巴黎鐵塔，羅浮­宮，協和廣場，最後男孩求婚了，新人步入香榭大道，在大家的祝福下，男孩與女孩在完美­的結局凱旋門許下終生。

This short film tells the love story of the owner of Café de L'amour, 
through a cup of a romatic coffee, 
a sweet love memory, and 
fourteen sceneries in the romantic city Paris. 
It is like that a sophisticated coffee making process 
starts from the fine coffee beans to carefully grounded powder, 
boiled water pouring through, and creamy foam adding on. 
It is a sweet love story to enjoy the life, 
and to love your love ones. [TSL, 2010]

Café de L'amour uses the structure of Paris to design the organization of coffee machine. It contains the love story between two carved wooden figures. In this love journey, the girl who traveled to Paris experienced the art cuisine of the Opéra national de Paris, and ran into the boy when passing Art Nouveau subway entrance. They visited the Moulin Rouge together and felt in love with each other when they reach Sacré Coeur Basilique du. Later, they went along to Parc de la Villette, Pompidou, Seine River and Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris. They love each other more and more. When they continue their journey to Eiffel Tower, Musée du Louvre, and Place de la Concorde, the boy made a proposal. The couple goes along Les Champs with the blessings from everyone. They commit their whole life to each other and end the journey happily up at Arc de Triomphe.

About me

蔡昀潔，1987年出生於台灣，畢業於台灣科技大學工商業設計系，目前就讀台灣科技大­學-設計研究所-資訊設計組一年級，從7年前開始接觸設計，3年前開始接觸動畫及影片­製作，成為最有興趣的設計項目，在我心目中影片能夠打動人心，不論在於動畫或電影，當­中的動態表演、故事內容、技術、風格...這些都是能構成好作品的元素，學無止盡，愈­是看到好作品就會更加勉勵自己要向前，而這些動力來源也是Café de L'amour的核心價值：享受人生，享受愛。

Yun-Chieh Tsai was born in 1987, Taiwan. I major in Industrial and Commercial Design Department at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. I entered the design field seven years ago and got involved with animation and film production in the last three years. It became the most interesting thing to me since then. I believe that films and animations are able to arouse people's sympathy and emotion. A good film is composed with several key components, such as the story content, rendering technique, style design...etc. I encourage myself that there is always something new worth learning. The more sophisticated works we see, the more inspired ideas come to us. These inspirations are indeed the core value of the movie Café de L'amour: Enjoy Life, Enjoy Love!
