String Figures (Anime Style)
Hiroki Watanabe
Japan
Story
I have heard that string figure games are played by children not only in Japan but also around the world. These games that connect children worldwide are shown and portrayed in this film in the format of Japanese anime, which is also enjoyed by children around the world. I hope that this work not only excites children but also connects adults worldwide by triggering memories and discussions about similar anime they have watched in the past.
Comment
Thank you so much for selecting me to receive this prestigious award. I normally make videos with the team LAUGHING POKERFACE, and my entry was produced with them as well. I have been once again reminded that the ability to get together with everyone last year and make videos was a truly precious and important thing. We are still in a really tough situation, but I hope to keep the honor bestowed to me in my heart as I continue working with everyone to make interesting videos.
