Style thoughts

From my initial thoughts about the style of animation to use I wanted something either very simplistic or ultra detailed. As they are two opposite ends of the spectrum I found some videos of other 2d animation to inspire some more thoughts for what style I want to go with.

"MTV AR Bike"

I like the colours used in this animation. I also like that there is always something happening - the eyes are never bored (even though it is only 20 seconds long). The sound design is also something to take note of.

" Kynect 'education' "

This animation uses very simplistic styling - it is quite a friendly looking animation. It has a very light colour palette. The movement is slow paced and relaxing to watch. (I probably will move for something faster)

"Bless You"

This animation utilises real world photography mixed with computer generated 2d animation. It has an interesting feel to it. It also uses subtle humour. I'm not sure yet whether to be subtle or quite obvious with the jokes in my video. I liked the layering of the photographs to give a 3d feel in a 2d world.

"Eye Candy"

I don't really understand what this film is saying. But it was interesting to watch none-the-less. I liked the greyscale-ness of this video as well as the animation style (the way the characters moved). The character design in itself was also vaguely comedic.

"CHOIR TOUR (TRAILER)"

This animation has a very interesting visual style, as opposed to 'showing' things as they should look it chooses rather to represent people and buildings in a recognisable, but highly stylised way. There are no words either - just another example of an interesting video that uses only sound effects.

"Shave it"

This one is just fun to watch. It has a great, colourful colour palette too.
