The Old Man and the Sea

Aleksandr Petrov created an adaptation of The Old Man and the Sea.

I didn't know that:

• Petrov used oil paints to create his adaptation.
• Petrov painted every single frame.
• Petrov was animating under the camera the whole time, so if he screwed up, he had to start over.

 I thought this article was awesome. I like how fluid the animation is in this short film. I also think it's amazing how this guy painted thousands and thousands of frames just to make this movie. Very admirable.

My one question is: Can I meet this man?
