Our current production Freedom Dance is based on the story of a newlywed couple who escaped from Hungary after the 1956 revolution. It sounds like an odd story to chose for animation but the husband Edward Hilbert was a cartoonist and he kept a cartoon journey during the trip. Having seen the cartoon journal we thought it would make a perfect animated story.
We were able to scan the original black and white journal and the hundreds of pieces of new art created by Edward especially for the movie. The drawings were scanned into the computer at 300dpi in grayscale. This made the drawings large enough so that we could move our computer camera in very close and the resolution would hold up.
