Izabela Plucińska
is a multi-awarded Polish animator and director who lives and works in Berlin. She has developed her own technique for creating animated films: she films figures that she herself makes from clay and plasticine. Thanks to the developed, special way of animation, the director manages to achieve the effect of smooth penetration of colors and even "painting" with plasticine.
