We are here to present\u00a0our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/International_Animation_Day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World\u00a0Animation\u00a0Day<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Animation \u2013\u00a0what do you imagine when you hear the word? Some utopic world where\u00a0everything comes true\u00a0with\u00a0a single\u00a0<em>*swoosh*<\/em>\u00a0of a pencil? Or, rather, an amazing skill that renders the artist&#8217;s limitless imagination? And all that, of course, appears in the smallest\u00a0details visible\u00a0on screen, thanks to the unstoppable dedication on the part of the creator!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Animation &#8211; art or hobby?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Animations are a magical world\u00a0which one can\u00a0feel\u00a0and interprete\u00a0into real life only with the help of visual art. Today, this\u00a0lovable\u00a0hobby has turned into a desired job\u00a0position. Why? First, it has become\u00a0more\u00a0popular with the boom of modern technology.  Second, it expresses the artist&#8217;s deepest feelings, sincere opinion, original thought,\u00a0and pretty honest mindset on any kind of topic \u2013 from pure\u00a0humor\u00a0to satiric political matters,\u00a0locked\u00a0in various symbols. Hence, its great effect on the public. In fact, animators tend to be\u00a0some\u00a0of the\u00a0cleverest\u00a0people on\u00a0Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, animators drew ideas on paper, turning them into art in a single move, with a quick stroke of the brush, or a wink, even!\u00a0To create the illusion of motion, each their drawing differed slightly from the previous one, forming a chain of funny &#8220;moving pictures&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, it has become quite easy to do cartoons \u2013 there is a wide variety of computer programs to help the artists and save\u00a0their time. Moreover, the world can profit from an ecological viewpoint \u2013 no waste of paper,\u00a0no waste of trees. In other words, natural resources don&#8217;t get transformed into pencils or stationary: the artists use their digital skills and save every single frame somewhere in the &#8220;cloud&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Types of Animation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four main types of animation:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>2D animation.\u00a0<\/li><li>3D animation.\u00a0<\/li><li>Stop-motion animation.\u00a0<\/li><li>Motion graphics.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, without further ado,\u00a0let\u2019s\u00a0focus on the development of animation in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Art of Animation in Bulgria<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Bulgaria, the animated cinema\u00a0most likely\u00a0originated\u00a0together with the activity of the cartoonist\u00a0Rayko\u00a0Alexiev.\u00a0Made by state order, his works began to entertain the local spectators from 1948 onwards. However, the first Bulgarian film called\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Bulgaran is Gallant&#8221;<\/strong> appeared thirty-three years earlier, in 1915. Its author Vasil\u00a0Gendov fully funded,\u00a0directed\u00a0and shot the work himself. Another film, the author of which was\u00a0Rayko Alexiev, was mentioned in &#8220;Narodni\u00a0Prava&#8221; newspaper on December 12, 1915. Regretfully, there is no other trace of that work, as no copy remained. Nor is there any data on the number of times it appeared on screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most\u00a0popular Bulgarian animations are \u201cThe\u00a0Country of\u00a0Cannibals\u201d,\u00a0\u201cPrometheus\u201d\u00a0(1958) by Todor\u00a0Dinov, \u201cThe Three Heroes\u201d and \u201cSwan Lake\u201d (1964) by Stefan\u00a0Topaldjikov, \u201cThe False Shepherd\u201d (1970) by\u00a0Stoyan\u00a0Dukov, and, of course, the unforgettable Three Fools (from the series &#8220;The Three Fools&#8221;, 1970) created by\u00a0Donyo\u00a0Donev. Later, there are many others that have been translated into a number of languages all over the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/gpaeburgas.org\/Fullbright\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"\u0422\u0440\u0438\u043c\u0430\u0442\u0430 \u0433\u043b\u0443\u043f\u0430\u0446\u0438 \u0438 \u043a\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0430 1974\" class=\"wp-image-1552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gpaeburgas.org\/Fullbright\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/gpaeburgas.org\/Fullbright\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>An episode of one of the most famous Bulgarian animations \u201cThe Three&nbsp;Fools\u201d by&nbsp;Donyo&nbsp;Donev.&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Bulgarian who worked in Spielberg&#8217;s sutdio<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that a Bulgarian has worked for some of the biggest film companies in the world?\u00a0Emil\u00a0Simeonov\u00a0is an artist and 3D animator, born and raised in Bulgaria, where he worked until 1989.
