February 1st place –
Talented Scientist
The
animation style for this winning entry is very exaggerated, especially with
hand gestures and movements. Its facial expressions are also exaggerated, his
eyes and eyebrows doing most of the work. It uses very quick motions (most
likely to make up for the short video time) and has few camera cuts.
It uses a
cartoony style which helps the exaggerated motions and also the humour that’s used
in the video, since it’s quirky and a little slapstick (close to the end). The
whole idea of the submission is quite simple, it just being a crazy looking
inventor that seems to be making mistakes with his work.
With my own
piece, I could also take the cartoony approach as I think it really helps with
creating quick, exaggerated motions that will fit in the 11 seconds well. Also
the idea behind my project really doesn’t have to be too complicated and
outside of the box, (based on this submission being selected as the winner it just
has to display a good use of animation and motion overall, and match up to the
audio file effectively.
February 2nd place – A
night guard watches football during work
Similar to
the first place entry, its movements are also exaggerated, but not as cartoony
and wild. It seems to focus on the environment moreso than the winning entry
and has better lighting and textures for the objects around the room. This may
be because the story is more focused on the environment than the other piece.
The first
person that talks in the clip is hidden out of view, which could be used in my
project to save time if need be, and save me from modelling two separate characters.
Its humour is also slapstick, with the character being clumsy with the remote.
