Caroline Leaf's Films

 

After watching some of Caroline Leaf's films in class, I have to say that I really respect her for coming up with a new way of creating films by using sand. However, my favorite film that we watched would have to be the one called "Love in the Cold", I found the film scratching technique to be really cool, and definitely not a common technique that is used.

When Professor Leeper said that one of his previous students asked why the characters were so ugly, I have to say that does not shock me. I kind of agree with that student in the sense that, it is not the typical characters we were used to seeing growing up, like those happy perfect looking Pixar characters. It is a different technique of art in creating that needs to be respected, I think it is great to see other ways of characters being portrayed than what we are so used to typically seeing, it opens our minds up to different forms of art, and the fact that in actuality people in real life are not that perfect looking cartoon character Pixar makes everyone out to be. I would not consider Caroline Leaf's portrayal of characters as "ugly", but just different, and different is good.
