Two years ago I have got a skin of ermin from my grandmother (my great grandfather was a huntsman). It was hidden in the wardrobe for a long time, because I felt pity for the poor ermin. Today the skin is almost 80 years old, and it doesn`t look like an ermin anymore. But the idia of Ermin the Magician came to my mind. So here he is.

Animation got talent!
Eventually, I used ermin for the animation competition in Anifilm festival in Trebon. The Animation got talent was organised by KREUS. To visit their webpage click here:
A various styles of puppets and animators attended the competition. Each was showing a special talent. We were animating in the gardens in open air. Total time for animation was 4 hours per 1 animator. I decided to employ stop-motion togerther with a bit of pixilation. Take a look.
