Parapara Animation
The Parapara Animation workshop organized by Daisuke Akatsuka, Brian Birtles,
and Satoko Yamaguchi of Mozilla Japan, explored the potential of stitching together
hybrid digitally created animations as a story-telling medium. The organizers sought
to see whether an animation movie could act as a catalyst in the evolution of its own
storyline.
The workshop employed the Parapara application developed by the organizers
and a large projection screen. Children were invited to draw their own designs using
the Parapara application on the mobile devices provided. Once happy with their
creation, children used the application to send their animations to a shared virtual
canvas projected onto a screen where it was combined with animations created by
other children to form a common story that unfolded on the screen as new animations
were added (Figs.
