The 70 min “Characters in Motion” screening specially curated for the AVmotional Association showcases highlights and fresh examples of a new generation of characters, bringing the style back into the world of animation.
Pictoplasma was conceived as a passion project ten years ago with the goal of championing the vibrant characters that are springing from the minds of today’s pioneering artists, whether it be animation, illustration, graphic art or toys.
Since then, the project has evolved into a multi-tasking operation. It has published a series of highly regarded compilations, including “The Character Encyclopaedia” and “Characters in Motion,” that have gone on to become pictorial bibles of character design. The project has also been hosting annual conferences, festivals and exhibitions since 2004, joining artists around the world to talk about characters in commercial and gallery art.
