Precious Pantovola

Precious from Bright Side Studios on Vimeo.

I looked at Pantovola's textile art dolls earlier in the year, but I've just found this animation that she was involved with.

Described as: A stop motion, puppet animation film. A story of sadness, melancholia, hope and friendship. On his lonely hilltop Bragi the sad clown cries tears of pearls at night. Mystified by their magic Precious collects the pearls. She threads them into necklaces that hang heavy round her neck. One night when the moon is full Precious and Bragi meet.
A collaboration between Pantovola, Alabaster dePlume and Bright Side Studios.
Pantovola's dolls make beautiful products but it is so much more exciting to see them moving and performing their stories. I think this is a really great direction for Pantovola which involves her love and previous experience of performance. This is an enchanting video and I think it's really exciting, it shows the power of collaboration and the many opportunities that are availbale from working across disciplines!
