Although the name of Jaroslav Zahradník isn’t well-known today, he belongs to a group of amateurs who succeeded in the professional sphere and he’s also one of the first animators who popularised the technique of claymation here. Little Clayman won the first place at the UNICA Festival and made Zahradník into one of the most important amateur animators in Czechoslovakia. (Anifilm)
