How the Film Was Made

Making an animated film takes a lot of teamwork! Here's a look at how Từ Thức married a fairy was created:

• Animation Style: The film uses a special technique called Cutout animation. This is where characters and objects are made from flat pieces of material (like paper or cardboard). These pieces are then moved frame by frame to create the illusion of movement.
• The Team Behind the Scenes:
  • Director: Trang Nguyên led the whole project, guiding everyone to bring the story to the screen.
  • Artists: Phương Thảo and Bùi Hùng were the artists who designed the look of the characters and the world they live in.
  • Animators: Trang Nguyên and Trọng Bình were the animators. They carefully moved the cutout pieces, frame by frame, to make the characters walk, talk, and interact.
  • Art Design: Đăng Giáp and Bùi Hùng were in charge of the overall visual style, making sure everything looked just right.
  • Sound: Bùi Kim Thục created all the sounds you hear in the film, from voices to background noises.
  • Editing: Kim Oanh put all the animated scenes and sounds together in the right order to tell the story smoothly.
• Music and Songs: The film features lovely music, including songs like Entering the pagoda (Vào chùa) and Who was downstream (Ai xuôi về). These songs help tell the story and set the mood.
• Color Printing: The final colors of the film were processed by the National Studio for Documentary and Scientific Films, making sure the movie looked vibrant and clear.
