Styles of animation 2

Stereoscope (1999) William Kentridge


Here is an example of Kentridges animation . He uses a very basic style of animation with the use of charcoal on a single piece of paper.

The blue line splits the screen in some shots making two screens for the animation. There is always a trace of the previous frames of animation left from the previous drawing.


Death and the Mother (1997) Ruth Lingford



An animation I found in animation now. It was completely drawn in computer graphics, but gives the illusion of wood carving prints. It also reminds me slightly of Kentridges animation as some scenes leave traces of the previous animation.
I found this scene interesting in the fact that the animation is strongly conveying the sense of tough, as the mother feels the face of death the imagery in brought into view.


Millennium Actress (2001) Satoshi Kon

This film is a merge of Japanese history with Japanese film industry shown through the memories of an actress. I think this scene is an impressive montage of different still images and animation.

The feeling of reminiscence is shown in this scene by animating the character moving through the photographs.

All images were taken from youtube and my own dvds
