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.
