During the 5-day Animation workshop held from July 23rd through 26th, children worked together to create a two minute animation short "The Daughter of Manju Cake Shop was Kidnapped!", which was finally completed with music and sound effect. We were pleased to appreciate the completed work together with our friends and family.

Children were happy to see that their hard work actually turned into the animation and their eyes were shining with joy. Many participants said that they want to take part in animation making again.

This work will be shown as part of official programs during HIROSHIMA 2014 this August.

How was the workshop?


This time, 29 students of 5th to 9th grade took part in the Animation Workshop 2013.

For most students, this was their first time to create an animation. They worked hard together for all the 4 days to make out a 2-minute animation - creating the story, designing characters, drawing animation one by one, coloring and then, shooting them.

When their animation was previewed finally at the end of the fourth day, students were so thrilled and excited with joy watching it.

The work is titled "The Daughter of Manju Cake Shop was Kidnapped!"
In December, we plan to have an opportunity to present the completed work inviting all the participants. Also, in August next year, this work will be shown at the large hall of festival venue in HIROSHIMA 2014.
