Sita Sings the Blues

I really a strong culture background story like Sita Sings the Blues.
Below is a video that i would like to share. The story is about a white hair . Surrounding is changing, like the red letter box, it no longer exists in HK. It is a part of people's memory.
I have a feeling that i need to catch time.


Nick Fox-Gieg

Among ten short films, i like "More Than Winning" the most. The story is extremely interesting. I was shocked when the result came out that dog and human were dead. I expected that the human will be the winner.

What i learned from Animator Nick Fox-Gieg is using texture and color. we dont need to use color to emphasize  the characters , sometime simple black and white are enough to show the characters.

And i also watch "Rule or Ruin series" on his website, it is cool!! specially, a kid is cooking part. I think the animator using brush to out line the main characters. i think he wants to make a shadow?

May 3

I don't like the animation under this week schedule. The common topic is dead. It is too sad. But i understand how important of music is. This is a fresh idea that Brent Green performs his film "Carlin" live. I think animation is not only for fun, it can be like music and dance that express certain feeling of creator. The emotion will be even stronger when the animation is presented with music. for example, like Crocodile Street alternate soundtrack 1. I stopped the video when the music just played. I feel so scary to listen this music with black and white image.

Watch this. This is so funny. The mouth movement of cat match with the music. I think that if the music is taken out, the video must less funny and interesting.

SUROGAT - Dusan Vukotic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQyKaPQ6Abs

I like this story. the story is compelling. I used to skip the end part when  get bored. However, this one i watched the whole thing. I found that this story is funny, part of the reason is the main characters have a lot of detail movement. i like the hair movement of the woman. This is so bouncy. Besides, i like the speed of this animation. I think it is very hard for me to control the time frame( frame per second).

I also watched this

Musical Pig - Muzikalno Prase by Zlatko Grgic(1966)

A ads

Gucci Cruise 2012 Ad Campaign


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFMzrBspgBI

If you ask me to distinguish between plot and story in this ads, i think this ads is more like a story type. Because the ads do not really tell you the idea, you need to infer. The funny thing is the ads does not show the Gucci products a lot. This shows the long legs and red lip of the woman a lot. Also this shows some scene of flowers and butterfly. Therefore, i guess the idea or selling point of this ads is about Spring session and this ads want to tell women that Gucci can feminize the women. The character of the red lip and long legs  are important traits to the audience.
