ANIMEX EXHIBITION
ANIMEX EXHIBITION IS AN
ILLUSTRATIVE ACCOMPANIMENT TO
THE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE
FESTIVAL; IN A SENSE IT'S THE
PLACE WHERE EACH OF THE
FESTIVAL'S THEMES COMES
TOGETHER. IT OFFERS A VIEW INTO
THE STUDIOS, LABS AND
WORKSHOPS OF THOSE CREATIVE
ARTISTS WHOSE WORK IN AREAS
SUCH AS CHARACTER
DEVELOPMENT, TEXTURE MAPPING,
3D RENDERING AND THE ANIMATION
PROCESS IS SO CRUCIAL TO THE
HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED NATURE OF
THE GAMES AND IMAGES WITH
WHICH WE INTERACT TODAY.

Comics will form the main focus of this year’s
Animex Exhibition and special emphasis will be given
to the display of work by selected comic book
artists. From Krazy Kat to graphic novels, the comic
book genre has been, and remains, an influential
and important cultural form. Animex Exhibition will
offer the chance to see what goes into the design
and composition of this perennially popular format.
Animex Exhibition is open to everyone and provides
a particularly exciting learning experience for the
younger participants at the festival. Gaining an
understanding of the creative processes that go into
the production of the various games and animations
on display significantly enhances the ways in which
we can engage with them.
We hope that Animex Exhibition 2008 will have
something to interest everyone and, who knows,
we might even discover or encourage the next
generation of animators and games designers.
