HoYofair has been held online again this year. HoYoverse as the developer of Genshin Impact was holding HoYofair event on April 13, 2024. The event, "Teyvat Film Festival" is a form of appreciation for HoYoverse as well as being a space for the community to show their talents in creating fan animations. HoYofair features several fan-made animations packed with fresh ideas and stories. Announced via their X account, HoYofair invited fans to participate in this event. The selected animations were broadcasted on the YouTube, Twitch and TikTok accounts @HoYofair last night at 19.00 WIB.
There are more than 10 animations from various creators that were broadcasted. Content creators who have been confirmed since the first announcement are Amatsuki (天月), Dillongoo, and 96NEKO (96猫). Following yesterday's premiere, there were several additional creators such as No_Tables, Passion Paris x David Pagaille, Bit Egg, Type ZERO Inc x BCP LLC, LucHD, KIERU, RhinoCore & OuterSpace. The animations were created using different graphics, some use 3D animation, others use 2D animation or a combination of both.
Not only is it an event to display animation, fans also contribute to the film-making process, starting from script writing, directing, animation, modeling, music composition, sound recording, voice acting, and much more. The languages used are varied, although most are dominated by English dubbing. This is a form of appreciation from HoYoverse which has provided extensive opportunities for content creators from various circles and countries.
This event received a lot of praise and comments from fans. There are not only a few fans appreciate the fan works broadcast on HoYoverse, and there are even those who are waiting for the continuation of the animated story. A Youtube user @Clouds2981 for example said, “10/10 overall for real for real, still waiting for progenitor episode 3 to be released. The series is purely underrated.”
HoYofair is an annual event that quite a lot of creators who have participated will participate again at the next HoYofair. Information on the date of HoYofair 2025 will be announced later.
