Jacinto Martínez. Animated cartoons.
The devastating monster
Since I was a child, I have always had a passion for animated cartoons. I learnt to animate by drawing the different phases of motion on notepad pages, and so I made lots of flip books. I have worked as an animator, as an in-betweener and as a background designer. I animated the trailer for the film The devastating monster at the Paris Council Adac animation workshop between 1999 and 2002, thanks to professor Vu Hoa’s inestimable help. I made the drawings by hand and colored them with pencils and markers, but I had to wait until 2008 to scan them and to make the video. The soundtrack is an extract from the work “End of a dream”, included in the album From Heaven, composed by NovenaVoz. The composer’s website is http://novenavoz.blogspot.com/.
Mortgage and Ruin
In the eighties and nineties I animated with a ballpoint pen lots of flipbooks, and I have chosen six of them to make this video. The original drawings were between three and six centimeters high, so I had to scan them in high resolution and then I retouched them digitally. I composed the music with Jamstudio‘s online sound mixer.
