I knew that the case of my animation was a famous and big news at that time in Hong Kong so I hope there would be still quite a bit of news or evidence left online. I searched youtube and other news website and luckily found some really useful material.
Police arrested a gang involving serious crime in Kam Tin this morning.
The gang armed with grenade and led to a gun battle with more than 40 shots between the gang and the police.Two members of the gang were killed by gunfire.
At first it was kind of a pain to find such old news online. Especially when they are all in Chinese and there are not many left online. I am not satisfy with only this amount of material therefore I ask my Dad if he kept any of the news at that time. Although he did not keep any but his friend did!!Therefore I have more secondary resources and facts to strengthen the animation. I am planning to make a collage of these news cut at the beginning of the animation so as to emphasise the fact that it was a real event happened back in 1991. What I need to do now is to visit the actual place in Hong Kong during Christmas so as to collect more primary resources and voice record my dad.
I am very happy with the good quality of news cut! There are even English news cut which is absolutely a bliss to include in the animation. It is amazing how the news even have a diagram describing where the police and the bad guys located which also help when coming to create a animation base of fact.
