Description:

An animator struggles to get into the "zone" as real life keeps interrupting.

The film uses a fragment of the song "You Can Leave Your Hat On" by Randy Newman.

[...] you have a film called "An Animator's Notes"; one might expect that in it you would talk about yourself. However, its hero is not at all like you.

I was not tempted to make a self-portrait. I took a collective image of an animator living and working in our country. Many episodes were spied in the lives of my colleagues: their daily life, their work.
