Art Analysis

In this image a viewer sees four main flamingos that are very round along with an extremely round alligator. In the background you see a flock of flamingos and then mountains and the blue sky. The name of the animation is "What If Animals Were Round" hence the round animals. Its comedic because the animals cant do any of the things you would normally see them doing. The artist is trying to convey the fact that everything is built the way it is for a reason and has that particular shape and structure to perform necessary means for survival. The artist is also just trying to make the viewer laugh by giving these animals ridiculous figures and failing at everyday tasks. Any comedic environment might have influenced their work, but it is truly hard to say what could've inspired this. The artist  clearly evokes humor out of the viewer, the entire point of this animation is to make people laugh. The art work and style for this animation was done in this particular way to maybe portray a level of realism in this "unrealistic" animation, the colors are so vivid and the scenery looks so real. The artwork contributes to society and the community because it entertains people of all ages, even if only for three minutes. It put a smile on my face when I watched it and i would consider that a job well done by the artist. The idea behind this whole piece is so unique and different that not many other have attempted similar animations. This is sort of similar to what i hope to do; i hope to have a similarly realistic scenery, realistic looking animals (besides the roundness factor), and most of all make people smile or laugh. This animation cuts to different scenes of different animals and doesn't stick to telling one main story with main characters, i hope to do just that.

New year, New Project

It's my second year, and i'm determined to complete a short animation this year. I would like to enter my animation into the film festival and possible even win something. Animation was my favourite topic that we covered last year, so why not tackle that again but on a much larger scale. My project ideas for this are all over the place, to me the hardest part is going to be building/developing a story. My ideas are limited by the rigs that I have access to, or the ones that I. One of the stories i'm learning towards is zoo animals, or another story with animals, it seems to be very popular for comedic genres. I will be using maya for this animation, so yes it will be 3D. Below will be some inspirational images that i have selected that represent some sort of idea that i want to present.
