Alice i Underlandet

Alice in Wonderland is an animated concert film with an original musical score, inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Rather than adapting the book literally, we approached it as a starting point for visual and musical exploration, selecting scenes and ideas that resonated with us and developing them into a new narrative experience.

Process:
My work focused on designing and animating an immersive visual world that could exist in dialogue with the live musicians. Every character and environment began as pencil sketches before being developed into layered digital paintings. Depending on the needs of each sequence, I combined hand-drawn animation in TVPaint and ToonSquid with compositing and motion graphics in After Effects. Throughout the process, the animation evolved alongside the music, with rehearsals becoming an essential part of shaping the timing, rhythm, and emotional flow of the piece. The final films were assembled and programmed in QLab, creating a touring production that the musicians could operate independently while still allowing space for improvisation and interaction with the audience.
