------ EN ------ (Deutsche Sätze folgt unten / 日本語テキストは少し下をご覧ください)
Hellooo to all of you who took part in our animation festival! we would like to take this opportunity to thank you all again for helping us create such a nice event!!!

We originally had a plan to make promotional dvds to sell during and after the event. Due to technical difficulties and lack of time we did not make them in the end and have decided not to publish something this time. However, we are now making plans for the next animation festival!!! We are currently putting together out preliminary plan and we predict that the next event will take place in summer, either june or july. The next will take place in a larger venue, with a more varied line up and much more to see!

If you are interested in the next event, please send us an Email (animationfestival@shoxxxboxxx.com) to get further informations.

Thanks again to everyone, happy holidays and see you next time!!!

best wishes

hallooooo liebe Leute, die an unserem Animationsfestival teilgenommen haben. an dieser Stelle möchten wir gerne Allen von Euch noch mal danken, da wir ein echt super schönes Event haben konnten.

Eigentlich hatten wir den Plan, DVDs zu machen und während und nach dem Event zu verkaufen. Aber wegen technischen Schwierigkeiten und Zeitmangel haben wir es leider nicht geschafft, und am Ende haben wir uns entschieden, dass wir dieses Mal doch nichts publizieren werden…
Trotzdem machen wir eben einen Plan für das nächste Animationsfestival!!! Wir haben schon viele vorausgehende Ideen, die auch schon ziemlich konkret sind,
- es wird im Sommer, entweder Juni oder Juli stattfinden,
- der Ort wird größer sein
- mit vielgestaltigerem Line-Up, viel mehr zu sehen, etc.

Wenn Ihr Euch am nächsten Even interessiert, bitte schick uns eine Email (animationfestival@shoxxxboxxx.com), um weitere Details informiert zu werden.

Vielen vielen Dank noch mal an Alle, und wünschen Euch schöne Festtage!!
bis nächstes Mal!!!

liebe Grüße
SHOXXXBOXXX Team

アニメーションフェスティバルに参加していただいた皆さんへ、
去る11月12日に行われたアニメーションフェスティバル、みなさんのおかげで本当に本当に素晴らしいイベントになりました。
連絡がとても遅くなってしまって恐縮ですが、参加していただき、本当にありがとうございました。

また、当初の計画では、プロモーション用DVDを作ってイベント会場で販売することにしていたのですが、とても申し訳ないことに、テクニック上の問題や、映像の応募をイベント直前まで受け付けていたことによる時間の問題のため、最終的には残念ながらDVD制作を実現することができませんでした。
ですが、実は今すでに、次回のアニメーションフェスティバルの企画を進めており、それに向けてたくさんのアイデアを出し合っているところです。まだまだ詳細は決まっていませんが、
- 次の夏(6月もしくは7月)に開催予定
- 会場は前回よりも大きい場所
- さらに充実したアニメーション作品ラインアップ、展示やパフォーマンスもさらに多彩に!
などなど、計画しています。

次回のイベントに興味のある方は、animationfestival@shoxxxboxxx.comまでEmailをお送りください。詳細が決まり次第お知らせのメールをお送りします。

最後にもう一度、本当にありがとうございました!
良い年越し&ステキな2012年を!!

Wang Yuan (China)
"Manipulation" - 2008
the self-figuration idea is not new, from early animation Out of InkWell featuring charater KoKo the Clown made by Fleischer brothers in 1921 to an Oscar winner film Manipulation (same name) made by Daniel Greaves in 1991. I think though there are many films about this idea, the connection between the figure been created and the animator makes them different.
