Cegonhas Pretas / Black Storks (Crias)
This animation is part of a series called Crias, that consists in a series of short animal stories that aired in public television channels in Portugal and France. The idea was for them to work as a cue in the bedtime routine for children. Each animator chose an animal and had to tell a story of its bedtime. Mine was the black stork, and as it is a bird and lives near water I wanted to represent that visually. The art is created digitally with a watercolour brush for the animals and a chalk brush for the clouds and environment. This was a joint venture of Videolotion, Praça Filmes, JPL Filmes, FTR and RTP. You can watch this video and the rest of the episodes of the series here.
