computer animation

author Maria Berova

The mixing of painting and 3D computer animation technics shows larger opportunities of the new technologies and try to escape from the computer images conception.

The movie creates a simbolic model of the surrounding world and poses the question in a what degree the human development depends on the external factors and from himself. For this aim sevral different heros are created and each of them has own identity and provokes our thoughts with its actions.

Web site

Basic approach on the web site estetic building is analogy of the Pop-art in the fine art. In this case there are you can find the cliches which have appeared and established in the information space and VR circulating in the global network. The authors maintain the thesis that popular notion for the art like something beautiful and nonviolent brings into focus its phisical appearance. It is paradoxical that the pop-art using popular culture`s signs becomes elite art. Passing beyond the vision of surface the pop-art point how far the society go down in its own unified cliches.

“How do we Bulgarians perceive ourself” is the question the authors are looking for the answers. The web site has a task to interpretate occurances and events, which are out of media`s field of vision and to attach them a “global” dimensions.

The forgotten island

The movie represents the adventures of explorers, looking for the traces of misterious civilization in unknown island.

The project has realised basicly at 3D Studio MAX, but for more realistic images the authors use even little copies of some objects.

The several minutes 3D animation looks like computer or TV game introduction.
