Them and their circunstances...

It tells a story about one day events which happen to one innocent family. There are five storylines, from four different characters' viewpoints. Stories are seemingly random yet vitally connected with the tale of a set of incidents in one day. The animation starts with the end of the story and then the viewer can find the clue like fitting the pieces of a puzzle.

This is an experimental online animation, which introduces a new way to watch animation. It combines videos and flash with actionscript. All movies are put together in flash and through the actionscript programming code, people can see more than two angle shots simultaneously, select the chapters and the video segments and create their own storylines. Also there are dynamic animations in flash itself so the animations in videos and those in flash interact each other, crossing the frames. This frame means not only the literal frame object in Ji-Hyun's work but also the boundary between linear video work and nonlinear flash interactivity.

Animacam presents its 3rd edition

Dear friends, welcome to Animacam 2010!

Despite our efforts, in this third edition, the Festival couldn't keep out of the world economic crisis that affects us all and, as a result of that, we are forced to do a restructuring of the Festival, that we hope to be as punctual possible.

1 .- In the Official Section, there are three Categories: Short Film, Multimedia and Retrospective, awarded with 2.000 € each one. These awards are also delivered by the Public through their votes on the website, such it was in the 2nd edition.

2 .- The Blog of the Festival will be an interactive platform news in three languages (Galician, Spanish and English) so we are opened to receive all the news and announcements that you want to.

3 .- In the Parallel Section, The Way, Pilgrims will continue to encourage the Way of Saint James sharing their experiences through the uploading and broadcasting of videos.

Finally, we hope that you understand the current circumstances and we look forward more than ever, with your participation and confidence.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
Animacam team.
