The Chain Animation is a concept of cartoon film making where one group start a sequence and another group prolong the work done. FAXCINATION started to develop 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) before internet became available. Today the internet is there, and also present in many 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 are getting more accessible, in the RICE ROAD we have tried, and probably succeed to adapt the concept into 3D "chain animation". What remain from the previous experiences is the methodology of creation over the borders.

NOBLE FOUNDATION and the street children
from Saigon have been asked to create a sequence on the theme of the Rice.
But, on the streets in Vietnam, kids are more familiar with the images of
rockets, and space astronauts. This is what they have finally represented
in a transformation that goes from their hammock to a flying bird
