The 1st Volume of Characters in Motion introduces a new wealth of cutting edge character visuals to the established world of animation. The DVD compiles over 90 stylistically outstanding films by 60 international studios, artists and designers in curated programs such as Characters in Narration, Characters in Rhythm and Characters in Motion. Additionally, a special selection menu allows to sort the 180+ minutes of animation by creator, character or style.

This is the very first animated short film I ever made. Together with Matias Vigliano we started thinking about parallel universes and other mysteries of life.

Matias Vigliano and Dante Zaballa (aka Parquerama Studios) create psychotropic and loop-filled animated worlds blending pencils, markers and After Effects. Much to our delight, they just sent us their latest collaboration: a non-sensical, vibrant and amorphous tale called “Big Bang Dog.” Vigliano and Zaballa: “Cartoons exist ergo we exist. Our craft is entirely by hand and frame by frame. It requires time and infinite patience, and even so we enjoy very much doing it. The shorts we develop are a summary of thousands of original illustrations, motion tests, timing adjustments and detailed backgrounds. “Our tidy process guarantees a happy ending. We use sharp pencils to sketch, medium felt-tip marker for thick lines and ultra fine fiber-tip marker for details. With our inked frames and audio master, we go directly to After Effects for the final composing and color.”
