Today, we watched a bunch of animated films, shorts, pilots and other animations like them.
Octocat: http://vimeo.com/1690174
Octocat was created entirely in Flash, by copying and pasting the frames, then rubbing out the pasted frame to create the next frame. It's style is very scribbly and childlike, with a seeming lack of understanding of angles and very little control of the "pen", until nearer the end, during the climax.
Logorama: http://vimeo.com/10149605
Logorama is set in a world where everything and everyone is the logo of a company of some sort, with police officers all being the Michilin Man, driving various car shaped logos. The zoo is populated by the MGM Lion, and Ronald McDonald is evidently the equivalent of the Joker. Right down to his apparent immunity to death.
Gluko and Lennon: http://vimeo.com/12339198
Gluko and Lennon is the pilot for a television show that never came to fruition. It follows a small purple creature called Jennon and a large pink shapeshifting creature called Gluko. It seems to set up a running gag about Lennon falling into Gluko's mouth, into the liquid inside of him, visible through his semi-transparent epidermus.
Tale of How: http://vimeo.com/1516019
Tale of How is a fanciful animation made by the Blackheart Gang, as a sort of set up into a larger world createdby the Blackheart Gang to set other animations in. It uses a somewhat weathered look to strengthen the feel of an old book of fairytales.
Tyger: http://vimeo.com/6787244
Tyger is an animation made with a multitude of different methods. First of all, there is the tiger itself, the focus of the whole animation, which is a puppet operated by three hardly concealed men. The city appears to either be a model, or, what I feel is more likely, photographs of a real city with the animated portions overlayed on top. The humans, who turn into animals, are two dimensional traditional animation, creating pseudo 3D. Finally, there are glowing plants that grow around the city that are clearly digital.
