英文网站Stomp(Straits Times Online Mobile Print),还有中文网站Omy(中文为主,英文为次),皆是从报章衍生而出的新平台。网站结合了从报章摘录的新闻、公民记者内容、论坛、部落格、电子报、游戏、活动和好康等。经过两三年的推动,还有在报章的“催谷”宣传之下,成功“抚育”了不少公民记者。
An outdoor show that incorporates puppetry, dance, mime, stilts and masks, Trois is a poetic and touching tale illustrating the circle of life.
Two actors dress like puppets – one a newborn who can’t even stand up straight, the other a giant on stilts. The ‘parent’ takes the ‘child’ under his wing and teaches him to walk and be independent, even finding him a friend from the audience. However, when the little puppet wants to fly away on his own wings, he can only do so by cutting the string that ties him to his ‘parent’. It is only when he kills him that he can freely live.
Trois is the brainchild of Compagnie Une de Plus, company specialising in street theatre and puppetry that’s founded by Eric Hervé. Since 2003, Compagnie Une de Plus has toured all over Europe, delighting young and old with their unique brand of innovative and fun puppetry.
The spectacular eight-foot in diameter Zoetrope featured in the exhibition is a cinema device that creates the illusion of static images in motion – featuring well-known characters from Toy Story and
Toy Story 2. The illusion of static images in motion is created when the figurines of the characters, mounted at precise points on a disk, is rotated according to an eighteen-frame cycle. The viewers, thus, see a rapid succession of images producing the illusion of motion. Pixar uses the zoetrope to ingeniously convey the principle of how animated images are formed.
The Artscape is a four-screen, large-scale multimedia projection, which immerses viewers in richly detailed scenes from the animated features Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and Cars. The inspiration came from original art produced with traditional art materials such as pastels, charcoal and gouache. This audio-visual installation employs digital technology to present dynamically simulated 3D art, allowing viewers to consider in detail how concept art stimulates the imagination of the entire film production team. The Artscape is a magical installation that brings to life the handcrafted art in the exhibition.
说是动画展,展厅内当然也有不少动画展示:
