Meian

Meian animation from Mark Kjærgaard on Vimeo.

This is some of the animation I did for a japanese series inspired short film at The Danish Filmschool. It's directed by Maremi Watanabe, a wonderful, talented and dedicated director. The crew was also blessed with some of the crew from the newly released "Salma" short film, from our school The Animation Workshop. If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out, it is stunning: vimeo.com/​18009392
