Today was the fifth programme of This Is Not A Cartoon. (For more information on this great screening event you can find the website here)
- Comedic little animation about a woman with extreme panic as she leaves the house to whether or not she should turn back
- Nice popping bright 2D digital style of animation with a great us of light throughout
- Gets more funny and ridiculous as the story unfolds and she imagines all these extravagant scenarios
- Really lovely layers of texture to create this realistic atmosphere in the snow
- Great use of minimalist colour to create this dramatic style of 2D digital animation that strengthens the dramatic story line following a boy lost in the wilderness
- Strong moral to the story as you see this shock ending that sticks with you and lingers after watching
- Lovely hand drawn texture and style to the peice
- Odd mix of voices that strengthens the realism of the stories they tell
- Strange start to a quite sweet animation as we have this man swapping stories with the dead that we see him stitch together almost on a surgery table
- Great ‘old school’ big band type music throughout that really reminds me of the old Tom and Jerry cartoons
- Some lovely shot movements and animation throughout, all really well timed in this uplifting smooth 2D animation
- Creatures playing to the music and celebrating, very much reminds me of the Everybody Wants to be a Cat Scene in Aristocats. However this being a more grown up version showing the effects of drink and dullness of work and reality, rather comical.
- A remarkable stop motion film following the lights, perfect use of minimalist sound to create this industry of thoughts in the mind
- The unique idea we follow tries to fins its place and fulfill its goals
- Shows great character animation as you really feel for this little character who is simply a light bulb with eyes, creating this wonderful film following this idea creation
- I have previously seen and written about this film from ‘BAA British Animation Awards 2016: Public Choice Programme 1′. Fantastic sound mix and editing throughout that is made very lovable and comical with wonderful animation created to illustrate the story
- Really funny dialogue as we have this animator talking with this unusual man Mr Madila
- A great story teller as this animation becomes memorable and something you want to share with others
We were joined by Fulfilament director Rhiannon Evans for a Q&A following this screening.
Here are some notes on what Evans talked about on her film ‘Fulfilament‘
- Long exposed shots for frames
- Practical lighting
- Wired, glass heads, resin bottoms to make the puppets
- Was going to have squash + stretch but too cartoony + unrealistic
- Better with everyday life objects
- Used 2 sets changes to look like many
Print. Sculpt. Stitch.
