FILM

I, the great and glorious Kalmon, have again been very clever, an old friend of Thok, who also used to be a film Animator ended up here in the old pensionist head quarters at "Tranehavegaard", and he had a book with pictures of the old geezer Thok as a young man doing animated paper sculpture for Halas and Batchelor in London, way back in the 60es. The tittle of the book is "Art and Animation" by John Halas. I managed to borrow the book and in secret scanned the pictures so I can brag about how I helped Thok, when he was going insane trying to learn how to do 3-D animation on the tabletop

There is a little story behind "Top Dog" winning 1. Prize in a Hollywood Animation Contest. Mr. Halas invented a new kind of animation which he called animated paper sculpture, and as there was only one entry in that group, Top Dog Sniff won the prize playing "Hungarian Rhapsody" on the Grand Piano.
