Teams have to produce a one minute animated short film that is inspired by Japanese anime. Contestants will be taken to a digital cinema where they meet their Mentor, Toru Miura, and watch clips from Bubblegum Crisis play on the big screen. Using Japanese anime as their inspiration and theme, their task is to create an animated short film.

From a list of pre-installed songs in the HP MediaSmart music library on their DV laptops, teams must select one song from the Universal Music catalogue as inspiration for their short film. Their work in progress must be presented as character designs and storyboards to the mentor before they proceed to animate.

All animation will be done in the HP SPACE War Room and the final animated short film will be played back to the judges using HP MediaSmart software. The winning video will be aired on Channel [V] and will also be downloadable from the HP SPACE website.
