The Animation of Man

While searching through Vimeo once again I came across a short stop motion animated film that used paper cutouts. It's a simple story, the evolution of man, but the paper cutouts are charming and give evolution a whole new feel.

Another aspect of this short that I find incredibly intriguing is that the created left markers on the paper, so the process of stop motion is visible. I think this helps the audience realize that stop motion animation is incredibly time consuming and a very involved process. I also like that the creator put themselves into the work, even if they were just a hand.

This is a beautiful example of paper cutout animation and I hope to try my hand at it someday.

Flatbush Zombies x Trash Talk -- "97.92" OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

This music video by Flatbush definitely sparked my interest when I saw it for the first time because I really had no clue how these camera angles/ effects were being done. Ive watched it a bunch and Im guessing that they used a  several fish eyed cameras or GoPros attached to a drone but I'm stumped when it comes to the post editing or that even took place. The angle in the video is hard to explain but its almost like they're giants onto of the globe and earth looks like a tiny ball. the best is when they're on a boat at 2:00 in.

Title Sequence

This week I have been working between my infographic that will now be my final project and a title sequence. I have decided to do the title sequence for the 1996 movie Primal Fear. It is a story of deceit, murder, double personality disorder and injustice. I found my inspiration from the television series Manhattan's title sequence. It uses animation, layering and stop motion. I think it may be difficult, but I'm very excited to execution it and view the final product.
