Similar to PHOTO DAY 2019: SAY CHEESE, MY MICKEY MOUSE CHIOBU~, I want to do a Mickey Mouse concept for this Movie Day too. But I’m going to do something new that I have never done before – making a DIY portable Mickey Mouse analog television! This TV will act like a photo frame to put lenticular (or GIF) photos of me and Taenggu so it will look as if the image is moving like watching a movie on a TV.
My idea was inspired by Taenggu’s “This Christmas: Winter Is Coming” album in 2017 which was an idea given by Taenggu to have a lenticular for its cover.
Before I started making my DIY Mickey Mouse TV, I carefully selected the following few photos of me and Taenggu and send them to an online photo printing shop to print them into GIF photos which took a few days.
I was very excited when I received my GIF photos order in my mailbox. I had ordered 2 sets of the same photos so that I could keep 1 set for myself and the other for the artwork to Taenggu. You will see how these GIF photo effects look like later down this post.
Once I got my GIF photos ready, I began working on my DIY Mickey Mouse TV right away!
And we are done!
Proudly presenting to you, my very first DIY portable Mickey Mouse 탱구TV that you can bring anywhere with you and watch your favourite “movies” while on-the-go! 😆
Taking out the other lenticular photos that are stored in the box so that you can switch the photos interchangeably from time to time!

The TV antenna is also free to extend for as long as you want when you feel like your signal is getting weak. 😆📡📶
Speaking of Mickey Mouse, here’s a throwback of Taenggu wearing Mickey Mouse ears hairband while giving me good advice on chasing my dreams on her instalive.
Most recently, she was seen wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt for their 2020 SM Artist Season’s Greeting shoot. 🐭💜
November has always been a particularly difficult month for me in the recent years. Besides having to deal with the melancholy of celebrating my birthday without Taenggu, doing artworks for 11.11 and Movie Days have always been extra challenging for me too. It’s like doing double the work than usual – for example, for 11.11, on top of an artwork, I had to push myself to practise playing Taenggu’s 11:11 on a guitar / ukulele too, which is out of my usual expertise (refer to post: 11.11 2019: I WISH FOR YOUR WISH COME TRUE). For Movie Days, it only makes sense to edit my own movie of my love story with Taenggu, which is not in my usual repertoire too. This year, however, with renewed strength, faith and motivation, I even decided to do both an artwork and a movie now, in stark contrast to last year when I gave up completely on doing anything for Movie Day at all. “Just give all that you’ve got!” my inner voice must have told me.
So here it is, please switch on my special Mickey Mouse 탱구TV and tune in to Channel Celeste Movies, because I’m going to broadcast my very own Movie of the Year 2019 to you, which took me about a week to edit – “Love Journey of Me and Taenggu”. Enjoy! Kekeke. 🎥
