A very atmospheric shot – many hands grasping at a light source.
An apt illustration for an alien movie, or “The X-Files”.
Really love the lighting!

This photo is really interesting.
The window serves as a picture frame so it looks like “there’s a picture within a picture”.
And to the people in the photo, the photographer is also a picture within a picture.
The window serves as the picture frame from both sides.

MADEit is one of three teams from Cedar Girls Secondary School (CGSS) that made it to the Top Ten for N.E.mation! 11 this year.
The team members are all veterans, having also made it to the Top Ten for N.E.mation! 10 last year.
De facto team leader, Angel Goh of “MADEit”, the veteran team from Cedar Girls Secondary School. Her teammates describe Angel as an “angelic angel”.
This year marks their comeback.
MADEit is made up of four ladies from CGSS, and they are all proud to have made it so far for two consecutive years – as evidenced by their team name.
As a school, CGSS is relatively new to the Top Ten round of the N.E.mation! series of animation competitions.
However, they are rapidly up-and-coming – from the lone team in the Top Ten of N.E.mation! (HigherThanYou, which clinched the 1st Runner’s up in 2014, to sporting three finalists in both last’s year’s N.E.mation! 10 Top Ten, and this year’s N.E.mation! 11.
I met with one of the Top Ten teams for this year’s N.E.mation! competition – “Finding Sanity” from CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School.
Finding Sanity’s animation, “Building Our Nation”, is now available for viewing and voting. You can find out the four methods of voting your three favourite clips here.

Finding Sanity is one of two teams from CHIJ that made it to the Top Ten for N.E.mation! 11 this year.
The team comprises four chirpy ladies from CHIJ, which has been a powerhouse in the annual series of N.E.mation! competitions through the years.
Team Leader Lim Wanyi leads the team in search of sanity, and the top prize in N.E.mation! 11.
Past iterations of the National Education themed animation competition have frequently seen at least two entrants in the final Top Ten, whittled down from hundreds of aspiring teams from schools around Singapore.

The exhibition halls were packed today! Personally, I’m looking forward to buying some merchandise from my favourite anime, and watching my favourite seiyuu (voice actors) on the day stage. Photo credit: Anime Festival Asia Singapore 2016.
The annual Anime Festival Asia (AFASG2016) kicked off its three-day experiential showcase today in Singapore.
Attendees and aspiring cosplay enthusiasts can also look forward to meeting celebrity cosplayers from the region this year.
Some new highlights include the inaugural ANiBEATS, a 1-night only after party on 27 November, featuring DJs who blend EDM (electronic dance music) with anisongs (anime songs).
You can find immersive experiences at various experience zones, including a Sword Art Online centric exhibition booth that showcases artwork and animation cuts of all seasons of this beloved series.
Erin Tan checked out AFASG2016 at Suntec City. Fortunately she went early – it got super crowded very quickly after this.
Original merchandise direct from Japan, including merchandise exclusive to the festival, will be available for shoppers.

Guess who was the jogger in this photo?
It’s none other than the photographer himself!
When I chatted with Mark about the photo, he shared that he frequently went to that bridge to take photos – so when the third theme was announced, he immediately formed this image in his mind.
