świetne.



[hammertapping]

based on dostoevsky's gentle creature

[mypixelstory]

A very complex story aptly presented using a complex animation technique. Very rarely seen such genuine tension in animation. With all its silence, it seems like a ticking bomb. Waiting to explode, which it eventually does.

This is polish animator - not russian, not soviet. The technique is of sculpturing every frame in a dark painted plasterboard, then refilling some of the removed material and sculpturing the next frame, and so on, and so on.

I guess it could be as you say. Sounds very characteristic to Russian/Soviet animators, they more often than not practiced alternative ,complex and difficult techniques.

@Intars1986 Indeed. Check out Giersz, if you haven't done so already.

is that up to the end?

[Intars1986]

Interesting old animation. I liked especially those cam flip moments - greatly drawn

[Bereghar]

@Intars1986 It isn't drawn, these are carvings of some kind, which were made in a plaster and photographed one by one in some technique very characteristic to that author. I believe that's quite a time-consuming process.
