The Chain Animation is a concept of cartoon film making where one group starts a sequence and another group prolong the work done. FAXCINATION launched this concept in 1995 with the use of the fax machine to send the sequences from one country to another. Doing that, the project aimed at providing the groups with a “creative simulation of the internet realities” (such as networking activities) before internet became available. Today the internet is there, and also used in most of the developing countries. But it is seldom used for networking creations. FAXCINATION uses the animation as a non-verbal language where groups from any country can join in. We started with simple faxed pages (FAXFILM pages) of 2D animation. Today, 3D animation programmes are getting more accessible. In the RICE ROAD we have tried, and probably succeed to adapt the concept into 3D "chain animation". What remains from the previous experiences is the methodology of creation over the borders. .

Street children in Saigon have represented themes that are vital for them. How a hammock, can be transformed into a house. The same theme will be used later in a 3 D animation made by a student from the IFI (See the 3D animation). A farmer house in a rice field is transformed into a modern one, then many other house are growing around. That's how it goes.
