Synopsis

We are a community of professional animation artists that teamed up under the lead of Prague production 3BOHEMIANS for one year between 2013 – 2014 to collaborate on a CG animated short film WILDLIFE CROSSING!
Welcome to the site where we showcase our collaborative art.
Is a European professional community of animators and artists in CG animation and filmmaking constantly evolving via top production and training experiences which focus on project and team development and high-end expert opportunities for long term growth in the region.
Modern animation is a collaborative art which requires not only a talent, skills and an experience of an individual artist, but on top of that a solid understanding and passion for team collaboration and effective decision-making. This short film is the best example of such philosophy and mindset.
ANOMALIA is a TOP training & networking European platform systematically merging education and production project development in order to boost professionalism and advanced art skills of the participating artists who deliberately want to be encouraged to become animation entrepreneurs on the international level.
We are having the best professional supervisors from the most successful studios because their personal visit and so much needed passion renders the collaborative experience seriously one-of-its-kind and serves as the best method known to men to achieve professionalism in the craft. This value is achievable only via such team Work N' Study Experience.

The total number of professionals participating on the film, which was partly produced over the internet and in a studio environment. The animation stage was the cornerstone of this independent timetable.
This number is a size of a low budget feature film production with one animation director. The crew worked hard in only two weeks to make the film possible.
The animation stage took 2 weeks to animate the entire film with the crew of 20 + 1, and 3 additional weeks to enhance selected shots in a crew of 5.
The project became a huge international event with many people from various countries joining forces achieving the final result in 3/4 of a year during a steady production.
Anthony Wong works for PIXAR Animation Studios and joined WILDLIFE CROSSING! as a co-director and an animation director.
Anthony started his career as a computer engineer. Cal Arts accepted Anthony and that changed his life. For nine years, he worked for Disney feature animation as a character animator (Hunchback, Mulan, Hercules, Fantasia 2000, Tarzan, Emperors New Groove, Treasure Planet, and Home on the Range), and is currently working at Pixar. He jumps up and down everyday because he makes cartoons.
We think the technique of the animation and story are so nice ! Especially I was very inspired for your storytelling.
W would like to share couple reflective words by Anthony Wong, our animation director on Wildlife Crossing, which make us value his participation so much more. Thank you Anthony for the ride!!!
ANTHONY WONG; [Bay Area Festival] was great fun. The film was screened twice to full houses. One of the interesting questions was: why do snails have teeth? Jim and Nate (head of story in Cars 2) were impressed and told the audience we did an incredible job. Audience were thanking me in the parking lot. Felt great. Thanks for including me, -Anthony
We produce animation! From clips, ads and short films we have done up to now, we aim at developing concept for other formats such as series for TV and new media in context of trends in digital distribution. We search for new ways of exploiting modern animation as communication tool valuable for either commercial and non/commercial use.
WILDLIFE CROSSING! is a good example of our long term philosophy to produce an artistically valuable short film or a mini-series in collaboration with a commerical company which would use the story and characters as their brand for a limited time, while artists are given enough creative room for production. This current short film has been granted funding from the Czech Film Fund.
