I've just seen a very good movie done with rotoscope: "Chainsaw" by Dennis Tupicoff. (It just won the Grand Prize at the 54th Oberhausen International Short Film Festival last week.) He works in an "animated documentary" style, so rotoscoping fits perfectly into his storytelling ...

Don't expect too much from this. You will not get more than your usual VHS quality, and likely even less. What's possible is: to get rid of a general colour tint (but you want to keep this), and to increase the contrast between pencil line and paper. I don't advise to try to sharpen the lines in any...

Last week when I was in Stuttgart I had the pleasure to meet Joanna Quinn who gave a short lecture about her way of work. Apart from her being a genius when it comes to pencil drawing, one advice seemed to be quite helpful. She talked about sketching her animation in thumbnail size first, after stud...

I wouldn't call myself an animator if I weren't able to do that multiplane stuff by hand and make it look right ... but of course I'll give that thing a try.

Uhm, maybe next month? I'll start the whole thing with a squirrel, which is always fine. Then a picnic will be held. I've already finished scripting, because my script reads like: "Squirrel, nut, forest. Two people, picnic. And then stuff happens." You see, elabourous preparation is everyt...

completely done in Mirage, in HDTV resolution. I like the "pencil" settings I made. The forest is done in 10 levels for a nice multiplane effect.

The first one, exactly. I thought I had that plate in one of my books, but the search didn't dig it up.

Rony: your cat appears to always be a blob lying on the ground. If it were black, you couldn't make out head nor tails. Try to capture her in movement, jumping, falling, whatever. Try to get poses which you can recognise in silhouette. I tried to find the sketches of cats which I believe Hokusai did...

The short is really short - 2:45 min - and is called "2 Berge" ("Two Mountains"). There's not much story to tell without giving away everything, but I intend to send it around to a lot of festivals. Another one is already halfway completed - animation's mostly done, now comes edi...

Hi there, when I spent a week at the Stuttgart Animation Festival I didn' suspect to loose my Mirage forum and all the friends from there in the meantime - I feel like being sneaked up. Frankly, I'm pissed about that. OK, things go on. Now I'm here and willing to switch, but right now I'm completely...
