A lot of people gave their interpretation of "What IS Animation?", whether they spoke about it or visualized it. We all have our own way to experience animation. But no one can sum it up better than Tatsuya Egawa's character "Kintaro Oe" (From Golden Boy).

We know how a production of every movie can be tedious job and time consuming (And requires a lot of money too), but.. Sometimes the lack of money doesn't mean lack of creativity and hard work! In the making of movie that I'm displaying you here, you can see, how the passion to create an animated film (in this case, 3D film) surpassed the lack of finance! This showed me once more how the love for what you do can triumph every single time!
Enjoy this wonderful 'making of'.
