"An actor from Underbelly has taken first prize in Sydney&amp;#039;s Tropfest. Damon Gameau&amp;#039;s $80 (\u00C2\u00A350) movie Animal Beatbox, an animated film starring cellophane creatures and accompanied by a poetic narrative, was voted the best picture in the Australian short film festival. As he accepted the award, Gameau told the ABC: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m quite new to stop-animation, but I find it a quick and versatile way to express any idea that may be lurking in my head. &amp;quot;There isn&amp;#039;t a narrative in it... I knew 90,000 people were going to be there and it was just a light look at the animal kingdom.&amp;quot; The judges at the event were Olivia Newton-John, director Stephan Elliott, Twilight star Xavier Samuel, last year&amp;#039;s winner Abe Forsythe, producer Liz Watts and Tropfest founder John Polson. Simeon Bain won the Trop Jr prize and the Onitsuka Tiger Award for &amp;quot;fearless filmmaking&amp;quot;. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
