ANIMATIONS FOCUSED ON A JOURNEY

Because I'm so focused on my animation showing some sort of journey I've taken special interests in animations that follow a similar theme.  Here are two examples that I really like.

This is 'standing egg' by Taijin Takeuchi. I really like the collage style of this composition, definitely considering a similar look for my piece. I also really like the idea of having a silhouette character, and how they used the cat as a flat piece of paper and then later as a 3D standing character.




This second animation is absolutely beautiful. I've also included the making of the animation so you can see just how painstaking the whole production must have been. I was immediately inspired by this piece to think creatively about little bits and bobs i could collect and how they could be used to create a city scape background in my animation. I love the use of money and pins and stitch to create obstacles for the little character dot. Even though the scale of the piece only hindered the painstaking process, i also think it really makes the composition. This video has definitely inspired me in the creation of ideas for my own.
