Hidden films/Acorns Adventure’s part 1 and 2

These two little stop motion animation films we made together with Nina Farsen on summer 2015. Editing took a while, and sound was made later on 2017 by Maura Korhonen. I got a grant for making them from Grafia ry. The animations are based on a children’s book I am working on. It was a great project, and great learning process. Only for one minute of ready animation one needs crazy many hours of work. I used Dragonframe animation program for making the animations. Blow you can see some making of photos and a video. Unfortunately the size online has it’s limits, so the resolution is a bit blurry…
