A screengrab from the animated film.
“It was a handmade project over an intensive 4 months, and most weekends and nights,” said Seabra. So how does a team of animators decide where to start? They ask questions, lots of questions. After gathering more than 300 facts about Hong Kong they asked each other, their friends, Hongkongers, and an international audience, which tidbits were the most surprising.Filipe Andrade working on the initial concept art.
The resulting facts featured in the short film are unusual. For instance did you know that the Hong Kong Police force has one of the highest police to population ratios in the world? Or that dim sum can be bought as early as 5am? You probably did considering Hong Kong has the world’s highest IQ, another fact in the film. Once the team wrapped up the project it was time to release it online and International Animation Day, October 28, seemed appropriate. Celebrated globally in honour of Charles-Émile Reynaud, inventor of the Théâtre Optique and his projection of the first animated film in public at the Musée Grévin in Paris, International Animation Day was launched in 2002 by the Association Internationale du Film d’Animation. https://vimeo.com/169489377 See how Reynaud’s Théâtre Optique brought animation to audiences.
