This is a linetest of a sequence that I animated with Tim and Tobermory the cat (carrying the star, Adhara, on its back) as they run across the bridges in the sky from which the stars of Nocturna are suspended. But hey, I've got scenes in Nocturna, that's what matters. I worked pretty hard, churning out some six seconds (nine feet) of animation per week, but still only made about a third of a regular Danish animator's salary, certainly not something you can live on in expensive Scandinavia. Well, one explanation is probably the Spanish wages. How such a good looking film was made on a EUR 8 million budget seems a bit of a mystery. Animagic was subcontracting on the animation for Nocturna, and I managed to get a piece of that action. I contacted the Spanish animator Sergio Pablos, whose studio, Animagic (now SPA Studios), had made a substantial part of the animation on Asterix and the Vikings, which I also worked on a year earlier. So when I saw the teaser on the internet back in early 2006, I just knew that I had to be part of this film. But the backgrounds, the colors and the mood of the film is just wonderful. Honestly, those designs are too artsy for my conservative taste. Especially the main character, Tim, looks very odd indeed. When the Vikings abduct him and bring him back to their homeland, Asterix and.

It's hard to deny that the character designs in Nocturna are pretty weird. Asterix and the Vikings (2006) Mark: imdb: 6.1: Genre: action, fantasy, comedy, adventure, family, cartoon: Country: France, Belgium: Duration: 01:18: Asterix and Obelix have been given a tough mission: Transform the chiefs lazy nephew Justforkix into a warrior. It has that magic from the old Disney features, the feeling that you are simply there. Nocturna is an incredibly beautiful movie.
