Oscar Animation Task 2015

I was asked by my teacher to watch all the animations then choose at least two and discribe the animation used. 

Below are the list of the short-listed Oscar nominations

1) A Single Life film animator was produced by Joris Oprins

3) The Dam Keeper film animator was produced by Robert Kondo and Dice Tsutsumi

A Single Life, by Joris Oprins

This animation is about a women's single life. The character travels through time revisiting various stages of her life through a record player. 

She is trying to do something (eat the pizza) and we see her in different stages of her life. At the end of the short film the lady died.

The style and technique is professional and looks like it is done by using a 3D computer programme.

I like this style of animation.

                                         

                              

 Feast, by Patrick Osborne and Kristina Reed

This animation is about a dog who like to eat. But he eats lots of rubbish like chips that the owner gives him. When the owner meets a new woman that is a health freak, the dog is given things like salads to eat which he hates. At the end he befriends a baby and then eats up lots of food the baby drops so he is happy again.

Wikipedia says the style and technique used to make this film was a combination of hand-drawn and computer generated 3D animation.

Phenakistoscope

It is a device that was invented in 1832 for animation purposes. Basically what you've got is two wheels with sequences of animations around it, kind of like a flip book. It was mounted in front of a mirror. They would then be spun rotating on the same axis, where the image would be viewed through some cuts or slits in the wheel. 

Magic Lantern
