And the winner is... Bugging the Bug by Velislav Kazakov (Cuckoo Animation, Canada), about a ladybug in a world of comic catastrophe. The runner-up - who came very close! - is Flowers of Chaos of Junyong Wu (Hongkong).
The international competition for web animations (five minutes max) took place on HAFFTube, supported by YouTube. The competition started in February. The first ten days, around five films a day were uploaded. Gradually, HAFFTube filled with animation films from all over the world, surprisingly including a lot of new work. The limit for the number of films was set at fifty. When this number was reached, HAFF removed a few films every day to make room for new entries.
The unrivalled champion for a long time was Standing Up For Freedom of Carlos Lascano (Czech Republic/Spain), a heartbreakingly beautiful spot for Amnesty International for their fiftieth anniversary. In runner-up At Fingertips van Rafi Yaniger (Israel) we experience reality from the point of view of a blind man. Natalia Cristine Alencar (Brazil) uses coffee cups to pay tribute to Kafka in Cafeka.
The deadline was set at 10 March. Subsequently, a jury consisting of filmmakers whose films were selected for the shorts competition took over and appointed a winner from the remaining shortlist.
A technophile had a day experiment on being without his smart phone, he felt the difference of it. An cut-out animation lead out the thinking of lifestyle being in the high technology generation.

The plastic bags we use depict images of what we buy, what we do and where we have been. They accompany us throughout all of our lives and survive long after we have
gone. 'A plastic life' is a stopmotion which tells the story of a human life through the images on plastic bags. A continuous
sequence of hundreds of plastic shopping-bags convey a typical life progression, from birth, puberty, marriage and
death.

Cafeka, is a short-animation that uses two techniques:2D and stop-motion. In its title pays homage to Kafka, author of 'Metamorphosis'.

In both cases, there are the concepts of mutation and transformation.

The choreography for Jailbreak is inspired by the eponymous music of Eric Vloeimans/Gatecrash and is performed by pentagons, each with their own identity. The whimsical, terrifying tones alternate with rounded, organic sounds and these are the hallmark of the dance.

Time is a moving picture of eternity. A moving track that moves relentlessly in front of our eyes while with fear we realize that a moment is impossible to catch, take back, look at or live over again. The moments that go by are just a developed track behind us, in our memories, irreparably carved in eternity, untouchable, more distant, in a moment it seams as a hallucination that may never happened. This film is a lyric attempt to keep these memories into authors own frame and tame it trough cadres of an animation.

My Bloody Lad was produced by Quad by four young 3D artists : Cyrille Chauvin, Guillaume Dousse, Thibaud Petitpas and Pierre Rutz, who are first year students at Gobelins School of the Image. This movie was made as part of their last one-and-a-half-month internship, from July to August. On the very first day, the producers and the young 3D artists agreed on a clear artistic management, that of cartoon. Once settled in the studio, the artists were immersed in a real professional context that aimed at writing a script as well as at conducting detailed research around design.The bet was carried out since the short film was broadcasted in less than 6 weeks. The wonderful soundtrack was created by Apollo, a studio which is based in Toronto and which has already worked for Quad in the past, at the time of the award-winning Scrabble campaign (by Irina Dakeva).Now gone back to Gobelins School, they are pursuing their creations under the name of « Dead Walter »

March 11, 2011, the scary TSUNAMI struck Japan. The fear of TSUNAMI did'nt only attack an area along the shore. The fear appeared in videos and spread all over Japan, and the world. Into the pleasant and peaceful television image, TSUNAMI appeared suddenly. And it fulfilled our heart by fear in an instant. The fear corroded easy days. This is the trial which was going to reappear compactly simply and was going to record the image at that day.

Een man zit in zijn stoel, achter zijn scherm in het donker. Hij duikt zijn eigen digitale wereld in, een mengsel van zijn angsten en impulsen, gevoed door moderne techniek en reclame. Geconfronteerd met zijn angst voor de dood schrikt hij op uit zijn comatische staat.
Hij wordt wakker in een plek waar iedereen met iedereen verbonden is en tegelijkertijd elkaar volledig negeert.
Zijn excessief gedrag leidt tot een verdere afdaling in de wereld van zijn driften en verlangens, een rust lijkt bereikt te zijn, totdat hij gestoord wordt door de buitenwereld.
Uiteindelijk gaat hij aan zijn eigen vraatzucht ten onder.

Eindexamenfilm van Jan-Joost Verhoef. Genomineerd voor de Academieprijs 2011 tijdens de eindexamen expo, en winnaar van de Fakkelteitprijs 2011 op het Beeldbuis Filmfestival Zwolle.
De film is een semi-autobiografisch experiment, waarbij ik o.a. mijn eigen gedrag onderzoek om daarmee een breder fenomeen te beschrijven, de digitale wereld waarin we steeds meer in verweven raken staat hierbij centraal.
Een los narratief zorgt ervoor dat ieder zijn eigen verhaal erin kan vinden, mocht hij/zij daartoe bereid zijn. Op deze manier probeer ik de kijker te respecteren en niet voorgekauwde verhalen voor te schotelen.
