Yesterday I finished drawing the last location for our animation
pilot “Sunny and the meowing tree”. It will be our third short film where the
story will be told without words. I’d wish to find a way how to fill every tiny
part of an expressed idea with power to touch the audience's souls. Ideally, it might be
just a single glance or a gesture giving some
interesting experience.
Surely, I’m aware of me standing somewhere in the beginning of
this way and being so distant from those masters who have inspired me – Charlie Chaplin, Slava
Polunin, Rowan Atkinson…. But I believe it’s worth trying =)
Speaking of new project, it actually started almost 12 years
ago as a short story, a comedy – “Miss Beam – the great artist”. Certainly, it
was written after watching series about Mr. Bean. I was so impressed how
skillfully Rowan Atkinson creates funny situations with minimum tools. But at
the same time, being a positive person, I’d wish to have someone… sunnier 😊 Yup, that’s how miss Beam was born, but later I’ve found that miss Beam is
taken by someone else.
First stories about miss Beam were welcomed by readers what
gave me inspiration to write a sitcom series, but producers didn’t like the
idea. Now I’m happy to have all necessary tools to produce my own films with my
characters. Well, let’s see how the audience meet them…
