CHARACTERS IN MOTION

The pictoplasma animation festival
puts the style back into animation with
a unique overview of outstanding international short films, music videos
and motion graphics.

In traditional animation, industrial production conditions have created a universally applicable visual system of interchangeable characteristics, predictable movements and a limited gestural vocabulary. Classical character design is the result of a standardized production process, reducing the art to a series of predetermined shapes, volumes and silhouettes.
