“Through her eyes, I can glimpse a wild dance of the world.” Meet Joana, a 6-year-old Spanish girl who loves costumes and saying “no.” And meet her super creative Dad, Antoni, also called “Podenco,” who is a freelance animator and artist living in Valencia, Spain. His latest short film is titled Joana and it’s a tribute to his daughter. This wonderful 3-minute animated short features Antoni talking about magical and special and gorgeous and unique his daughter Joana is. He takes footage of her and vibrantly animates it – the short film is a “Rotoscope of more than 2,000 hand painted frames” and it’s stunning. Not only is all the imagery itself magical, envisioning many of Joana’s thoughts & expressions, but his love for her is so boundless and beautiful and comes across so invigorating in here. This one is absolutely worth a watch, something to lift your spirits as a reminder of how much love is out there – and how kids are a constant source of inspiration. // Continue Reading ›
