Animation

Here are some animation which i find inspiraing:



I like the Japanese/ gorillaz feel to the Monkey Movie (2008 Olympics). The really clever thing about this animation is the way the characters are performing Olympic based sports/moves like pole vaulting to diving. The way the characters a dressed and the colour scheme of the background reminds me of the Japanese anime The legend of Anng: the last airbender.



I like the way Pixar have taken the classic Alien abduction scenario and added a comical twist to it using clever camera angles sound effects and classic, un refined slapstick comedy. The way that the animators have made the human like a rag doll and the alien as the puppeteer adds to the comic effect. Overall I love the way Pixar have created this mini animation.



This to me is the funniest short animation that Pixar have done so far. It’s such a simple story but its execution is extremely well done. The rendering looks great, has a toy story/ incredible feel to it. The character design is really simplistic which I love and it looks great but most of all the comedy, it has the right amount of slapstick which when I showed to my flat mates it had them in stitches, and when it ended they were left wanting more which for me is a key factor in creating a really popular animation.
