CALCULATING THE RAIN is a project which includes stop motion animation, postcards and book. It is done in my favourite technique when I'm using only water, paper, camera and imagination.
Water is very clean, clear and transparent material, it is very light and beautiful. Water is one of the most important component of life in the earth...
On the other hand, it is unpredictable, very lively and flexible material with unique character and plenty of qualities. It is amasing instrument for creativity, one of my favourite. Working with wate I learn something new every single time, light effects, shapes, possibilities. This is not my first project where I'm using water and not the last, but my first experience in such kind of animation, Small abstract story about numbers, "Calculating the rain" may show you transience and
fluidity of time and water character is my best way to describe it.
Please, enjoy!
