Finally it's here! We started this project year ago and after a large pause I'm happy to present a story of a small boy grow up fast - becoming a man - and a father. Along the way he meets new people, changes his career and experiences new places. Eventually he finds way back home to give new life... and to start a whole new story.
It took a lot of paper and hand-made work. All decoration was build on white fabric from paper with scissors and black markers ... and it took a hell of a lot of time! I was sure it would be easy to make with simple shapes and line... I was wrong.

This was the most retouched video we have made so far. From 1000 images 400 had to be retouched. That was a true challenge for my wife. Special thanks for that!
Music.
As usual Daniel Olsén did wonderful job. This time it was incredible - the music suited the animation from the start!
