Aside from photography, Hsu tried filmmaking, but the cost of film and development just for a short three-minute reel was NT $ 2,300. His monthly salary then was only NT $ 2,100 so he had to work up meticulous plans before he shot, fighting for every second of filming.
除了攝影，他也嘗試拍影片，只是短短 3 分鐘的膠捲加上沖洗費，一捲要 2300 元，當時他的月薪才 2100 元，因此拍攝前必須精準企劃，分秒必爭。
