Event

In the Collaboration of Animation Films with Students from Asia, 13 students from Korea, China, Taiwan, Vietnam and Japan got together and created a short animation film. The theme was “encounter”. Going through hard work in which they stayed at the festival venue during the session, including two all-nights, they completed and presented the work in the 1st Floor Hall. It was 5 minutes after the opening of the session when the completed work arrived!It was literally getting in just under the bell. The audience was touched and gave unstinting applause to their efforts.

Another event CG Carnival Special Program: Evolution of FLASH Animation also attracted a huge audience which was over-crowded and there was not even standing room.
??????????
Under the guidance of lecturer NOMURA Tatsutoshi and producer KATAYAMA Masahiro, students were put through the mill from the orientation prior to the session to the presentation.
Every student was sedulous in working on their film. After the closing hour of the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, they kept working overnight for the presentation.
Filming and checking on the monitors. The production reached its highlight. We could almost feel their tension that there was so little time left for the presentation!
