Last Weeks Animations

After watching the animations last week I'd have to say I'm pretty impressed. Even with so simple animations they can tell a great story and look amazing. When we went over the comparison to Pixar, I think they are still at the same level animation wise. They both look great. Just that the people behind the film is a big difference. As we said, there was only a very few people that worked on the non Pixar films, and a handful on the Pixar ones. This marks a impression to all animators out there because it makes them feel like they don't have to go to Pixar just to make great animations. Even with a small group you can make something amazing. With Pfffirate, it looked like a very professional animation. The idea to use balloons was brilliant, it's easy molding and not too much complexity. Same with Clik Clak. You totally wouldnt notice the easy white background and to use a robot with easy shapes is another brilliant idea. Just the kid would be the tough part. Also I thought the idea behind this film was just awesome. The use of sound was amazing as well. To totally sum this up, the small animation shorts were brilliant even with a small work load of people.
