OPPRESSED CREATURES
As a medium, animation is a new experience. Much of the interim chat was therefore lost on me. It was definitely a meeting of the minds for the geekier animators and yet for a layperson most definitely entertaining. There were such a wide variety of styles in the programme that you definitely got bang for your buck. This coupled with some lovely interjections from the animator himself made the experience worthwhile and creatively engaging. Oh, and the films were rather great too.
AND THEN HE ATE ME
And then he ate me was a beautiful reimagining of some – let’s face it – pretty familiar stories. Visually this show had a whole heap of tricks up its sleeve: from shoes representing a whole person to a forest made with an overhead projector. Its delivery was refreshingly irrelevant however there is a bit of an argument for its tonal shifts being a bit repetitive as a convention. Overall though, this was one visually delicious production.
