Very interesting movie. I like this animation technique very much. How did he make this? It looks like real video with some strange effect applied. Beautiful.

afaik, it's real painting ... on glass,
and what's amazing is that he uses to paint with his fingers!

This looks absolutely gorgeous . I'm amazed by the audacity and skill of his animation/painting technique. His "Old Man and the Sea" is a wonderful film , too. Pascal Blaise Animation in Montreal hosts some clips from Petrov's films and commercial work . Check it out . Look under the section "Directors" on the Pascal Blaise site. Here is one of the clips (a montage) :

Petrov Montage

I'm just a cartoonist , but I love these painterly , artistic animated films, such as Petrov's "My Love", and the works of the great Frederic Back ("Crac", "The Man Who Planted Trees", etc.)

Does everyone know that there is now a website devoted to the works of Frederic Back ?

While I'm spreading animated joy , here's another link to what looks to be another stunningly beautiful animated film, this time a stop-motion puppet film, "Madame Tutli-Putli" , from the National Film Board of Canada.

i just discovered the website of Madame Tutli-Putli
it has such an amazing atmosphere and what a genious technique.

i didn't plan for Annecy this year but after seeing this i kind of feel sorry about that

I'm always stuck with stopmo made by sticklers of detail and accuracy,
it's a huge work, and when the artistic touch is here, it's a delight!

Thanks for sharing these very interesting links David...

Like Peter i didn't hear of Madame Tutli-Putli before and the what i could see from the trailer and from the interviews is amazing ! I can't wait to watch it !!
