Creating a hand-drawn animation is a long process that requires going through various design stages. These are some of behind the scenes of Old Man and The Sea.

To achieve a life-like movement I needed to study each of them and prepare a sufficient number of drawings which I later scanned and animated in an animation program. These are the frames needed for the fish to swim straight up.

For some sequences, like the falling fishing line, I had made to make a video of a real object first and study it frame by frame, to be able to achieve a natural movement.
