Tia Lee Leads the Charge and Showcase Female Empowerment, Global Launch of Her First-Ever Animation Series 

Six Cinematic Animation Episodes plus Innovative Motion Images Series as Prelude of New Song “Goodbye Princess” 

HONG KONG, SAR, 11 November, 2022,-/African Media Agency (AMA)/- Tia Lee, Asian fashion icon, pop singer, film and television actress, today launched the first episode of her inaugural animation series, telling Tia’s journey and her struggles in the entertainment and fashion industry.

The animation series centred around the underlying message of Tia’s soon-to-be launched new song, ”GOODBYE PRINCESS”, a song tailored for all females to become stronger through embracing their true selves. 

The six animated episodes are based on Tia’s journey in the entertainment industry. Each 30-second episode takes inspiration from classic “princess” fairy tale, subverting the symbols and images in it, to form a story that is both full of imagination and saturated with the ideas of metamorphosis and self-empowerment.

The animation series aims to showcase Tia’s determination to break out of stereotypes, shake off biases, avoid negativity and set an example for female empowerment.

Inspired by ”GOODBYE PRINCESS”, the animation series was curated, illustrated and scripted by a Hong Kong based award-winning team that demonstrated exquisite quality, creativity and enthusiasm.

Blending 2D Animations with Motion Images and Still Photography of Tia

Each episode will be further illustrated and expounded upon by a thematic poster that sums up the theme and message that Tia wishes to communicate through each animated episode. The cinematic design of the six posters will echo one another and will be released on Tia’s social platforms the day after release of each animation.

Innovatively, a motion image and photography of Tia will also be released after each episode to reinforce the story that Tia wishes to tell. Featuring Tia, the imagery of the photography and motion images aims to create a strong contrast between animation and reality. 

The motion image and photography of the first episode, “Falling in the Deep” will show Tia completely submerged under water.
