From Pam Evans, Founder of Peace Mala, www.peacemala.org.uk.
"When I had the idea of an educational video being made about Peace Mala, it took a little time to find the right person who could carry this through. Finally I met Delia MacNamara of Imagine dpm Ltd, who was certainly the answer to my prayers. She was intuitive enough to ask me what I wanted for the film. I came back with the idea of the dove of peace starting in outer-space and flying towards planet earth. I wanted the dove to have a Peace Mala in her beak, rainbow colours in her feathers and that a rainbow would come out of her tail as she entered the earth's atmosphere. The dove was then to carry the Peace Mala with its message around the planet. I asked if this could be done in animation first and then turn to 'real' film with children and adults receiving the Peace Mala from the dove as she drops it from the sky.
Delia's direction of the film is without question a brilliant piece of work. Her production team have also been magnificent along with everyone involved with the music. Thanks to the magical skills of David Bunting, chief animator for the film, the Peace Mala dove has been brought to life in a way that fits my vision perfectly.
Last but certainly not least, a big thank you to all the young people and adults who have helped Delia put this extraordinarily beautiful film together."
Fabulous animation of a lovely concept and message for the world. Really lovely to see traditional animation being used. Well done to all concerned.
