About Animation

FIRST:

I'd like to....[I edited a lot here but to make it short: Disney=Twinkytrash

Ggrrrroar...!] ===============================================================================

"I have made the animation: SiberiA in 1999, and is one of my animations I am/was most proud of.

The animation is very symbolic and doesn't have a very clear story-line, although there's a story "hidden" within.

I have made this animation after I saw a documentary about the Siberian Gulags (concentration/working camps) which were founded by the russians at the time of Stalin.

The people in these factories were seen as parts(/trash) of a larger machine and a person's life didn't have any value (as a matter of fact, if someone died, they went out to look for a substitute/"spare part" (innocent or not)...

This really touched me and I decided to do something with it.

The running time of the animation is about 1min.:30sec.

I have also chosen a less than conventional method of animation- making namely a combination of (acrylic) paint and (Siberian) crayon.

The music of SiberiA is made by the Polish(!) composer: Gorécki.

The text which appears sometimes in the animation is in Russian and makes the story somewhat clearer (if you know Russian that is).

But it's not needed/intended to let people know what it means (the grammar is probably not that good either!), it's more a tool for setting the tone of the animation"

.

"The second movie "[....B&W is something I am busy working on (in 2000!), it's going to be about"dream-Images" and it's going to be somewhat surrealistic.

I am going to use some new techniques like bluescreen/pendrawing/ crayon/paint/and 3d animation. It's going to be exciting I think...]"

This project was a tryout of techniques which I later used in making:

Animacabra.

Next I did an animation film called Deus Ex Machina.

Which I think can be considered a: "lifes-work," as I can and will add things

untill the end of times....

All things I make can be related to each other, It's happening in the same

"world," there's no need to finish it, cause everything is connected.

You can close the story but it'll be just the end of a chapter, which will

be followed up by a new chapter(and so on...)...."
