Komaneko – The Curious Cat

Went to watch this animation today as part of the Animation Nation screening this year with Leon, Rosslyn, Ying Shan and Rachel.

It was great!

Directed by Tsuneo Goda, Creator of “Domo Kun” the station identity character for NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation), Komaneko is an episodic story of a young cat who decides to create a “stop-motion” animated film of her own. She soon begins writing the storyboards, making the stuffed animals, and drawing the background art. Before long Komaneko starts making her film – taking one picture after another with her small 8mm camera, carefully checking each frame.

I found some of the video clips on YouTube, you can watch it online if you missed the screening. 🙂
