  In a lifeless urban landscape where time itself has stopped its crawl, a mad ballet is commencing and a newly hatched butterfly is about to die. This tragic story was constructed using dead insects gathered from forgotten attics and tool sheds, between window panels and cobwebs. It combines a number of animation techniques from classic stop-motion animation to animated 3D models of x-ray CT- scanned insects. Director, Script, Cinematography, Animation, Editing: Hannes Vartiainen, Pekka Veikkolainen Music: Joonatan Portaankorva Consulting Sound Mixer: Olli Producer: Hannes Vartiainen, Production: Pohjankonna Oy Hanasaari A is a short documentary about the changing cityscape of Helsinki, and the final moments of a coal-fired power plant. The old industrial milieu is being destroyed to make space for modern housing units. The film is a combination of animation, live action cinematography, and graphic elements. It is based on 500 000 photograohs taken during the final two years of the existence of the power plant. The Death of an Insect - ErŠŠn hyšnteisen tuho HŠivŠhdys elŠmŠŠ - Gates of Life
