Animation

Jim Le Fevre

Little Princesses Birthday Party

• Looks like pop up book
• Clay like puppets
• Narrator (story writer) tells the story
• No really background to give you the séance of the scene its just a black background
• Simple designed of the characters.

Paul Brush

Furniture Poetry

• Uses text (the text of a poem of some kind)
• It’s a real life animation
• Music (child like tune)
• Speeds up the images so that the images move.
• Uses random images (shoes, chairs, fruit)
• Simple
• Used a still movie camera

Oliver Harrison

Love is all

• Took him 2 yrs to make the film
• In the 1940’s Georgian style
• Used 35m camera
• Romantic type music
• Almost looks like a animation music video
• Its black and white
• Has a hint of Tim Burton to it.

Tim Mc Millan

Ferment (time lapse)

• Set up a load of still cameras to make this film
• Films around the main subject like in the matrix.
• Slows every thing it films
• Has the people talking but you don’t see them talk
• Gets random chats as they pass them
• It moves at a steady pace
• Moves from one scene to the next by using a wall or tree to do it.
• It shows a moment through a city
• It begins with death to birth

Jan Svank Majer

• Moving doors across a field or forest
• It’s the narrator whose talking
• Animation of toys moving
• Music
• There’s a scene where the toys start to move around doing things.
• It’s almost child like because of what they had in the mini film.

Punch and Judy

• Used paper puppets and 3d puppets.
• Music over laps with each other and also that sounds like they speeded it up a bit
• Music and movement of the puppets tell the story.
