I enjoy watching short animations for comedic effect. What I like about animations such as this one I found while browsing tumblr, is that anything can be done - the characters are tortilla crisps that bleed nacho cheese. Animation is radical and audience's tend to believe anything the diegesis throws at them.
I decided to look into paper cut out animations and stop motion animations to get inspiration as to what we could do with our own animation. I found this animation to be very simplistic and lacking in story arc. I liked the various layers of movement within the animation.
I liked the amount of detail in this animation, however I felt the animation itself was choppy in some areas. I liked the style of the paper animation and feel as if our own animation could take inspiration from this style.
I had watched this animation a few years ago and enjoyed the story arc of this piece. I think this could also present a variation of different styles of animation we could incorporate into our own piece by drawing digitally or something similar.
I studied him in A2 last year and his films for my own extended project. I rewatched the latest and last of his filmography - The Wind Rises. Not my personal favourite. Howl's Moving Castle is my favourite animation due to the extent of the animation - particularly in awe of the different movements of the castle and the detail gone into it.
I also rewatched The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness - a documentary following the production of The Wind Rises, and briefly re-read Miyazaki's biographies Starting Point and Turning Point.
