My name is Anastasia. I am 22 years old and I live in Russia. I found that forum because I am in a strong need...
I am a student and study computer graphics animation. My last year of studing has come and I want to make the exam (animation movie of 3 minutes) about Japan.
I'd love to find a beautiful japanese lullabuy or a small story (fairytale?), fable... I have only 1 month to decide and to find the topic. So I would be very-very greatful if you could give me some ideas, texts, mp3-files of music that I could use.
You may contact me by mail or ICQ. *The blond girl smiled and put her businesscard on the tea-table* ICQ: 154331

P.S. As this is my first post I am not allowed to post URL's so I am really sorry for printing them in a strange way...

Welcome to the site! Maybe i can help you if you tell me exactly what you want to do for that project, if you already have an idea i can try to help you to improve it ^^. So send me a pm if you want See you later!

Hello again! =) I was so glad to get so many messages for the first day at the forum. And what is more - I really liked some of the ideas!

I think I have about 2 weeks or so to think over different plots... I guess I need to aim for some simple ones and make them beautiful.
Of corse I am ready to take your help if you want to take part in a project =) Maybe you have some useful photos or examples. Anyway, to start the project I will need to write an essae/document for 50 pages and to show all the connections possible. I mean to tell something about the history of Japaneze art, about their national stories and fairytales, traditions in animation (anime, for example) and... Why I have chosen the plot I am going to make.

Thank you =) I am glad I found the site.

And hmm... You could also mention Harajuku girls. You know all those girls who are cosplaying/crossdressing there on the streets. That could make the project more interesting
For example...

Sometimes, when I think about all the information I could mention in text... I feel sorry for my teachers =) They can be really shocked. I am afraid to get negative only because elder teachers are not ready to listen about the culture that would seem to them... mm...more than unusual.

Oh. That could be a problem. But after all, this teens have somehow became the part of the Japanese culture through the years i think.
