In the foundation of this animation, stood the desire to experiment with a new and exciting technique. After some consideration, I made a choice in favour of printmaking. I have explored printmaking in the past , but not in connection to
animation. I must admit, that when the decision was made, I had no idea about the struggle I am going to put myself through to achieve this end result.
I have searched for similar type of work on the internet, but nothing I have found had a similar look or feel. Consequently I had to rely on my own understanding and principles of work.
I had developed a desire and to delve in my cultural past so I started researching fairytale.
Fairytale have always been significant through our culture and civilization, as they still are the means of passing over considerable amount of information to the next generations. Consequently they have been part of my childhood and up to this point in my life, as the means of learning about the surrounding world, cultural heritage and the notions of morality. Eastern European tales and legends are significantly different from what one can come across in Britain, for example.
Not different in the conveyed morality principles, but in the range of the characters, what they represent and consequently the scope of the conveyed
information.
One of the important points of visual inspiration, were paintings by Ivan Bilibin. His works are rich in colour and imaginative designs. I would personally recommend having a look at his work, as it might prove to be a time well spent.
