Animation filmmaker who loves dance
2018
Animation MA diploma film
Experimental animated dance film
6 min 47 seconds
Technique: Stop-motion, pixilation, live action
The concept of the film is based on the physical and emotional behaviour of breathing. This vital living function is manifested in an artificial and yet organic material, plastic, as well as in a human body. The film questions physical existence and movements as dance on screen, through the metamorphosis of a body.

This is my first test on drawing on top of live video. (done by a mouse).
I interpreted that the 2 year-old girl was preparing to go to Africa.
This is a project I started with Máté Somorjai in 2016. We collected about 1000 used ice-cream spoons and made a curtain out of them! The installation had to be moved recently and now it’s installed next to our office. Check out facebook page.
