‘LOVING VINCENT,’ an Animated Film Featuring 12 Oil Paintings per Second by Over 100 Painters
‘Loving Vincent’ will
be the world’s first feature length painted animation, with every shot
painted with oil paints on canvas, just as Van Gogh himself painted.
Written & Directed by Dorota Kobiela & Hugh Welchman, produced by Poland’s BreakThru Films & UK’s Trademark Films. The film is scheduled for a 2017
release.
“Every one of the 65,000 frames of the film is an oil-painting
hand-painted by 125 professional oil-painters who traveled from all
across Europe to the Loving Vincent studios in Poland and Greece to be a
part of the production.”
“The film was first shot as a live action film with actors then
hand-painted over frame-by-frame in oils. The final effect is an
interaction of the performance of the actors playing Vincent’s famous
portraits, and the performance of the painting animators, bringing these
characters into the medium of paint.”
“Loving Vincent is an investigation
delving into the life and controversial death of Vincent Van Gogh, one
of the world’s most beloved painters, as told through his paintings and
by the characters that inhabit them,”
“The
intrigue unfolds through interviews with the characters closest to
Vincent and through dramatic reconstructions of the events leading up to
his death.”

Full paragraph hurts even more.
“ (…) I will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where once we were so close… I will love you until your face is fogged by distant memory. I will love you no matter where you go and who you see, I will love you if you don’t marry me. I will love you if you marry someone else and I will love you if you never marry at all, and spend your years wishing you had married me after all. That is how I will love you even as the world goes on its wicked way.”
