Animation

I make mostly 2D animation, hand drawn (on computer), cut out or digital, but also stop motion 3D puppets. What I love about animation is that it is the perfect artform for storytelling but also it is interdiciplinary in its form. I have been making projections for both theatre and art installations, short films, motion graphics and experiments. I'd love to make your music video, create fantastic projections to your theatre play or just animate in your coming film. Part of animating is planning and design, which is one of the best parts in my opinion. But it is just as well animating others designs too. I make animatics and story boards, which also can be used in the visualization of live action films.

In a future city in what used to be Sweden, Vidya and her dad live in a world that changed after the old world disappeared. The grownups whisper about something moving in the city center ruins – "the Stray." Brave and curious, Vidya decides to find out what's happening. But when she sets off, something unexpected happens – she gets lost!

The short film is stop-motion animated with dolls and carefully built environments that create an exciting, mysterious post-apocalyptic world.

I utkanten av ett framtida Västerås bor Vidya och hennes pappa i en värld som förändrats efter att vår gamla värld försvann. De vuxna viskar om något som rör sig i centrumruinerna – ”irraren”. Vidya, som är både modig och nyfiken, bestämmer sig för att ta reda på vad som händer. Men när hon ger sig av händer något oväntat – hon går vilse!

Kortfilmen är stop motion-animerad med dockor och miljöer som byggts för att skapa en spännande och mystisk postapokalyptisk värld.
