Synopsis
In Japan, a typically Dutch boy works on his sashimi slicing skills. The sensei teaching him slices his fish like an artist, with an extremely steady hand, whereas his foreign pupil can hardly hold the brush. The master lets his apprentice slice fish until the latter, surprisingly enough, finds the solution in his own culture. Short animation combines numerous different, at times picturesque 2D and 3D techniques to arrive at a tasty picture.5‘ / colour

Background
Japan has always been a major source of inspiration for half-Japanese animation filmmaker Erik Vos.Just like art, he points out that culture can enrich the viewing experience on life. The animation film Gaijin Sashimi is such a viewing experience.A Dutch boy is looking for his sashimi cutting technique. In the teachings of a Japanese sensei he finally finds the form in his own culture.The story has a Japanese anime frame, which is depicted in a Western painting technique. The production is a mix of paintings, 3D animation, 2D animation and ‘live action’.Various film principles have been applied in this animation. Story telling (narrative) with abstract and associative hues.Because diversity is the innate inspiration of the animator, he likes to be inspired by the media itself. He believes that mixing (analogue and digital) adds value to his work.Stills from the film.
