<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tokyo Marble Chocolate won feature film category at the 12th annual Seoul International Cartoon and Animation Festival (SICAF), which ran from May 21 to May 25. <!--more--> <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-05-27/tokyo-marble-chocolate-wins-at-seoul-film-fest">Source</a></p>
<p>I was wondering what is so special about this short film and checked it out. This is a romantic story about a boy and a girl who both had difficulty with their past relationships and a "divine" intervention that helps them succeed. The film consists of two parts each depicting the same story, but from a different point of view. Production I.G described the plot as “a pure love story, colorful and sweet, yet a bit bitter, just like a piece of chocolate.”</p>
<p>I liked the story, but I especially enjoyed the artwork. Unlike many shiny anime today, it was drawn with soft colors and it looked like an animated manga :) I also liked a few sequences that displayed the emotions of the characters. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">In un pomeriggio soporifero ed assolato, scopro una perla che ha aumentato di un paio di tacche la qualità di questa giornata.. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><a href="http://www.cakostudio.hu/" target="_blank">Ferenc Cakò</a></strong> è un animatore ungherese, e al <strong><a href="http://www.sicaf.org/2008/eng/index.jsp" target="_blank">Sicaf</a></strong> (festival di animazione di Seoul) del 2003 offre alla platea una esibizione di <strong>sand art</strong>, nient'altro (si fa per dire) che animazione con la sabbia. Su uno <strong>schermo illuminato</strong>, le mani dell'artista disegnano di volta in volta figure di verse, utilizzando pochi tratti dell'una per generare la successiva, in una galleria di soggetti che vogliono rievocare diverse concezioni e momenti del <strong>mito della creazione.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/e6_GV2hpue0'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/e6_GV2hpue0&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Fa uno strano effetto rivedere un pò di clamore per un animatore magiaro, erede di una scuola che nel secondo dopoguerra è stata <strong>tra le più fiorenti d' Europa</strong>, se non del mondo. "Chiusa" in una produzione votata <strong>al folklore e alla propria tradizione</strong>, storia e costumi, l' Ungheria ha quindi trovato difficoltà ad affermarsi presso un pubblico più ampio <strong>di quello nazionale</strong>. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Fa piacere che almeno in contesti più istituzionali il peso culturale di questo paese sia tenuto ancora nella dovuta considerazione.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><em>Stumbled Upon </em>this quaint li'l video on <a href="http://www.youtube.com" title="Broadcast Yourself" target="_blank">YouTube</a> that had an artist creating really nice illustrations out of sand! Its done with a few handfuls of sand over an illuminated screen and with deft movements of the hand, the sand is <em>transformed </em>into interesting silhouettes and whatnots! See it to believe it....</p>
<p align="justify">P.S: Itz a 10 Min video, so give it a li'l time to load. Or else <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKJ_68q_Mec" target="_blank">watch it right at YouTube</a> itself.</p>
