The purpose of the diploma thesis was to produce a short animated film with the technique of
classical animation, one of the most recognizable and demanding animation techniques in the
world. The cartoon titled Coming for Easter, tells a story of the unusual family turmoil of two
rabbits, which ultimately resolves and ends happily, despite the unusual diversity of their family.
The theoretical part covers an overview of general information about animation, its origin,
predecessors, formation, various techniques and their most common use, and the role on the
Slovenian soil. This is followed by a more detailed description of all the principles of animation
that are commonly used by every creator in the field. They act as guides, which allow for a
natural appearance of movement, while maintaining the playfulness required for an attractive
final appearance.
In the practical part, the entire process of creating our own animated film is described. The work
was based on the making of a synopsis after the idea and the storyboard. Depending on these
two planned products, we designed characters, the sculpture of the rooms, and only after that
the animation was followed. Later followed final corrections of light, colour, sound recording and
editing.
