Alois Nebel

The feature film Alois Nebel is an adaptation of the graphic novel written by Jaroslav Rudiš and Jaromír 99 which combines animation and live-action. Directed by Tomáš Luňák the film will be made in co-production of Negativ (Czech Republic), Tobogang (Slovakia) and Pallas Film (Germany). The authors have chosen rotoscoping in order to keep the visual style of the original comic book. Each scene of the film will be shot with actors on location or in the studio and then redrawn and animated. Alois Nebel will be the first Czech film using this unique technology. The release of the film is planned for October 2011. (official distributor synopsis)
