hello,
here is an animated short i made a few years ago,
basicly i rigged my ink and aquarel art with bones in MOHO.
the drawings where cut out in photoshop and the water effect is done in after effects. (displacement maps)

hope you like it.

Beautiful drawings and a great fluid in the animation, you managed to create time for reflections.
Well accomplished!
Also very good music.

Touching, simple, subtle and fluid. There aren't enough animations like this.

Lovely animation - great drawings and music... a complex idea delivered with simplicity well done!

Have you done anything else since?

(p.s. the description should be 'prize' not 'price'

)

thanks for the many compliments!
havent done a lot since school... but there are plans and good intentions for more!
i am trying to get a decent line in vectors now, to make the animation itself easyer. not easy.

You definitely should do more films.

This was really beautiful. Of course I could spot some imperfections or mistakes here and there, but this was more than balanced through your atmospheric paintings, the storytelling, and the overall good animation.

You have a hand for choosing interesting angles - it's an instant win if the world in a movie is not flat and rectangular. Good composition of shots. Good balance of detail and empty spaces. Clever simplifying where it was needed: the cars on the bridge. And i definitely like time lapse effects in animation ...

Beautiful animation. I am interested in this cut out style of animation, because it gives one the opportunity to use natural media if you are for instance a painter. It would be great if you could explain the process you used to create it in a little more detail.
