Start Swedish research
Right now I stopped writing about museums and art galleries in Stockholm, since my Swedish is now good enough to do some research.
I am planning on continuing the research I started three years ago: on television illustration. What interests me is the development of animation for television purposes, since television gives a lot of restrictions to animation. This makes animators very creative in finding solutions that still look good on tv, and that creativity is my main point of interest.
This means that I am digging in the Swedish national archives now, and planning some interviews with animators while I still can. I am still considering whether or not to put (fragments of) the interviews on this weblog.

So what are the limitations that animators countered working for television. Is it screen realestate, color limitations or deadlines? And how do animators cope with these limitations?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's exactly that question that I'm interested in. Animation is an expensive and time consuming technique, which is hard to realize for television programs, because of the deadlines and limited money available. And indeed, there are also framing and colouring limitations. These limitations are the reason that animators needed to be creative, from simply illustrating, or splitpen limbmovements, to drawing on a scroll or simple forms of cel animation. In the Netherlands a lot of these things were possible, but the Swedish situation seems to be different. In what way it is different, I am finding out at the moment.
