Biography[edit]

Shieh attended National Magong High School in Penghu County,[1] where he focused on science subjects. He intended to pursue electronics and photonics in university,[2] but changed his mind after producing the graduation video of his class during the final days of high school.[3] The experience sparked his interest in filmmaking, and he decided to pursue studies in film at university instead.[3] In order to gain admission into a film major, he studied extra hard and achieved a score of 65 on the General Scholastic Ability Test.[3] Despite his father's desire for him to attend a more prestigious university or program, Shieh remained determined and enrolled in National Taiwan University of Arts to study film.[3][4] Initially interested in directing, Shieh's perspective shifted after directing his graduation project and developed a fascination with the process of post-production editing.[5] After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Shieh joined Central Motion Picture Corporation and began working as a film editor.[2] He used Adobe Premiere as his primary editing software.[5] He also directed short film The Seventh Day, in 2007, which earned him a prize in the student slate of Golden Harvest Award [zh].[6]
