Animation
The wonder of bringing drawings to life is something that has fascinated me since I was a child. Each second of movement on the screen is painstakingly crafted in the "frame-by-frame" technique. Going through multiple stages of preparation - from storyboarding, to layouts, roughs, clean-ups, inking, colour and special effects - one second of animation can take multiple days to complete.
"A True Story about Vlad Dracula"
Vlad Țepeș Drăculea, famously known as Vlad Dracula, was a true Romanian historical figure who is now remembered due to literary fiction and myths rather than historical facts. But who was the real man behind the legend? Was he really a cruel and bloodthirsty demon?
"The Little Hero"
On a beautiful spring day, just after the rain has stopped, a little boy tries to convince his ever-busy mother to go out and play together. Disappointed by her rejection, he goes to play alone, but the whimsical appearance of a butterfly sets him out on an imaginary adventure to rescue his mother from the tedious prison of work and worries.
"Remember Me"
A Romanian soldier fighting on the Eastern front of WWII is deployed to Stalingrad. His heart is heavy, he misses home, but still bravely does his duty. The Romanian army fought with courage and zeal, despite ammunition shortages and extreme conditions. It was highly unjust that history not only laid blame on them for what happened at Don's Bend, but also because they were forgotten. About 150 000 Romanian soldiers perished on the Eastern front, and those who did manage to make it back alive were arrested and imprisoned under the newly installed Communist regime.
