Our animation film became a Finalist

 The news came from Festival Director  of4th Dimension Independent Film Festival saying that our animation film "Elixir of Life" became a Finalist! That's just amazing! Our second work got into the final stage of the festival. The festival itself will be held in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, from 29th to 31st October 2021, from 1pm - 3pm and can be watched online: https://fb.me/e/ZH77EemC?ti=wa .

Yup, you may say what's going on with us having two achievements one after another, but you simply didn't see us this summer, when we were silently working on these animation projects. That's just fruits of our hard work. That's just time of harvest. 

Our new animation film "Elixir of Life"

Recently, I and my wife Ira finished working on our new animation film "Elixir of Life". It was a really interesting experience to see how a fairy tale I've written many years ago is coming into reality - slowly, scene by scene, but steady this story of an old alchemist, who received an expected present that changes his life, became visually real... 

By the way, our film has no dialogues - no language limits, the story will be told in the language of your heart. At least we hope so... Just in case you're curious about technical part, this film is a result of our work with Adobe Animate. If you wish to support our small family studio (just me and my wife), please, share the film with your friends. Thanks in advance.  

Arrival - How we feel the time

I've watched “Arrival", and just finished reading the screenplay. Yes, it's not new, but I can't miss it having some relation to the world of translators and being a fan of good sci-fi. What I like most about this film is its wonderful integrity – here are so many scenes, details, ideas whirling around one clear concept – time is just one of many dimensions. I have never sensed it like this in other sci-fi movies. But this idea is not just clearly-conveyed – it's served beautifully as a consolation for those whom we have lost once. The film creators seem to pull time out of the cloth of this world giving us a remarkable chance to feel how it may look... All other things, including language-related ones, work on this main idea, for example, that's why the alien's language represented in this movie doesn't have that cause-effect base as English does.
