Research: Other artists/animators

Research: Other artists/animators

How It should of ended



Movements are simple but effective, it has a similar feel to a cut-out  style animation. Although this animator uses adobe photoshop instead of vector based illustrator to create the artwork for the animation, many of the tools are the same in both programs.
In the animation, several techniques are used, such as layering to allow characters to appear behind each other. Basic movement, such as rotating and directional moving objects are also used.

More complex movements in this animation, the movements are synchronised to the music. The animator has used a zoom in effect where the object size increased to give the impression that the camera has gotten closer. I also like how they have made it appear as if it has been shot from many different angles.  Although some of the movement appear to be repetitive.

Black humour of this one is not  to everyones taste, but as for the animation, lots of complex movements are used here, and  in sections (such as the characters talking) has been done a process of replacing different features in place on top of others that are needed to give the appearance of moving seamlessly: E.g the artist would have a a pallette of different noses, mouths, and eyes, ready to be placed over the current one in the animation. (this too would of been done with the other animations above too.)
