Today I went to the second Public Choice Screening for the BAA. (For more information on this awesome award you can find the website here)
- Starts with pixelation as we see a person type at a typewriter, introducing us to our story based on Amy Johnson’s record flight
- Illustrating the woman’s plane cleverly through the use of a typewriter as she was a typist before her brave feat.
- Great use of sound with the images to create a great feel for the animation
- Dynamic Digital cartoon style
- Unusual story of a woman more like a bird than human as she tries to fly free of her bad home life
- Some lovely character animation as you connect with the story using small actions and signals from the characters
- Digital Abstract style of storytelling
- Very kinetic shapes that work really well with the sounds, bringing the audience into the story
- Really memorable
- Some amazing texture to this film, really interesting I had to look into it to learn how made this look as looks digital and real world materials
- Well layered world using light to tell the story, starting simply black and white and shocks with a bright orange joining the story later
- Lovely use of music and sound with the storytelling
- CG animation with lovely characters that look almost like folded paper figures
- Very funny story told through a song from the characters themselves
- Some good shots used as you flow through the story
- Now you may recognize this film from a previous blog post about the Manchester Animation Festival in 2016 as this was a favourite of mine from one of the screenings of that event
- Beautiful Stop Motion puppets and sets, using some clever little tricks for the water too which was nice to see
- A lovely mix media use of Digital Drawn Animation when showing the stories of the woman’s past.
- Complex CG animated world
- Lovely use of colour and thereby lack of it in the character to tell the story with the voice over (becoming dialogue as we see him talking psychiatrist
- Great way of telling his story of depression as he is grey and becomes colourful when his son does
- Digital cartoon style animation
- Comedic with the little human links connecting with the sea life (such as having them use tinder and messaging apps)
- Very strange story
- This is another film I actually got to see at the Manchester Animation Festival in 2016, although didn’t get the chance to write about this one in my blog unfortunatly
- Beautiful and bold animation using the contrasting vibrant colours to Digitally animate the piece
- Really interesting story as she obviously recorded a conversation with her mother about their upbringings and animated the things spoken about, making for a really powerful animation
- This is one of the Music Video screenings using Stop Motion to animate with some lovely digital parts mixing into it
- Really well animated story with the music rather than animating the music itself it has created a lovely story to go with it
- There were some really well animated parts such as the ending when the character forms into the tree, really well timed throughout
- This is the second of the Music Video screenings using really detailed CG animation
- Created this brilliant story with actual characters playing the music within it as we see this sweet little town made ‘metal’
- Follows the music really well in a almost game like style
- This is a film I have seen images of many times before so was really excited to get the chance to finally see this
- Stop Motion animation with some really nice textures to the puppets and lovely vast sets throughout
- Rather comical story with great voice acting as we see these two different environments of bears come together, good moment where used to environment to tell part of the story
