An 'Anijam' is a collaborative animation with various animators who do individual short animated segments that link together to make one larger film. Marv Newland, famous for his 1969 animated film Bambi Meets Godzilla, coined the term with his 1984 collaborative animation, Anijam. For Marv's film, he brought together 22 animators from around the world to collaborate on Anijam. The unifying factor in his animation was a character he created called Foska that each of the animators had to use in their animated sequence.

Marv's Artist Statement for his animated self reflection on the Costa Concordia disaster:
"Whether at the helm of an ocean liner, or in the bathtub, we should remain alert and try to control ourselves." - Marv Newland

Yellow Sticky Notes | Canadian Anijam
Synopsis: For the first time in Canadian history, 15 of Canada's most award-winning and celebrated independent animators have come together to create a collaborative animated film. Yellow Sticky Notes | Canadian Anijam is an innovative and global approach to animation filmmaking and unites animators from coast to coast, from Vancouver to Halifax and all parts in between, to self reflect on one day of their lives using only 4x6 inch yellow sticky notes, a black pen and animation meditation. Featuring animation from the original Anijam creator Marv Newland along with Oscar® winners Alison Snowden and David Fine and Academy® Award nominees Cordell Barker, Janet Perlman, Chris Hinton, and Paul Driessen. To create the film, the animators were asked to self-reflect through animation on personal and global events that impacted one day of their lives.

Each of the animators created their sequences without knowing what the other participants were creating. Starting with a 'to do' list written on the day of a life-altering event, the animators transitioned from text to imagery by utilizing 'animation meditation' to create a visually animated poem representing how their lives were affected by that pivotal day. In the end, the thousands of sticky note drawings link together to create a dynamic and inspirational animated film that connects the human spirit while celebrating individual artistic expression with the goal of inspiring future generations of animators.
