The team advice—Prof. Dan-ching Liang—said that the organizer changed to online awards due to the pandemic, and it was very difficult to enter the campus to shoot because the shooting process coincided with the pandemic containment period, which increased the challenge of shooting. She further stated that good works do not fall from the sky, so she had to lead the student team to enter the kindergarten facilities attached to the elementary and junior high schools in Taiwan's "Food Agriculture Academy" for limited shooting. By supervising the shooting process, the shooting efficiency and the quality of the works were improved. The student team also exerted teamwork and creativity to produce a video with the theme of "The Magic of Seeds" in line with the theme of "Food Agriculture Education."
