Meet the Artist Beatrice Chen, Senior Animator at Mercury Filmworks
“Hi, I am Beatrice Chen. Originally from Taiwan, I moved to Canada to pursue a career in animation and have been in the industry for six years.
I have always liked figure skating, but after I saw the Japanese Anime “Yuri on Ice,” I started to go deeper into all the different elements in a skating program. That was also the time when Mao Asada caught my interest, and through her story, I started to know more about Yuna Kim. I find them both inspiring in different ways.
At some point when I was listening to this song “On My Own” from Tokyo Ghoul’s Soundtrack, I thought it probably could work as a skating program and somehow decided to mash Mao and Yuna’s program together and see if it works. And then, combining everything with what I learned throughout the years with different people, it turned into this.”
