Anima takes the simplicity of cell animation and gives it a modern, collaborative twist. The installation was originally built for Blend Fest, an annual animation festival in Vancouver. Throughout the festival, animators attending the event came by and drew on a Cintiq tablet frame-by-frame. As the participants put the stylus down on the tablet to draw, you could actually see the laser going straight to the wall, displaying what they were creating as they moved the stylus around on the screen.

Haze was added to the space to be able to visualize the laser as it traveled from the machine to the wall. Each frame drawn was collected into a collaborative animation that looped on the wall, displaying the style and wit of dozens upon dozens of animators in attendance.
