Abstract:
I’m in the proces of turning a children’s book into an stop-motion animated film. I wrote and illustrated the book in 2018. Everything comes from a series of paintings I did some years ago, in particular one of my first real paintings - “Cpt. Baltheruz’ last journey” which has lead to a whole series of paintings and the (picture-)book and soon the film.Regarding the process of turning a book into a film, I find that I’m not loosing value but rather gaining value since the book is quite short and heavily relies on the visual aspects, where as the text is really straight forward: mostly lines from the characters and basic action) the text in the book is plain and not a literally masterpiece. So the transformation is actually most striking in the choice of different esthetics.Therefore I can add a lot of things in the story just by movement, by the craft of the doll-making and the scenography.
Previous projects leading to this.
Kogekunst: "Kan ikk' vente til i morgen" (2018)
"Olofsson" (2022)
