Alexander Petrov's animation is made by drawing with pastel oils on glass, with his fingers, a technique mastered by only a handful of animators in the world. After photographing each frame painted on the glass sheets he would slightly modify the painting for the next frame and so on. Mr Petrov spent over two years, from March 1997 through April 1999, to paint each of the 29,000+ frames. (wikipedia) Winner Academy Award for Animated Short Film 1999. animator.ru
