Paper research

As my animation is going to develop my style I have been looking at several paper animations.

such as the end credits for lemony snicket created by Jamie Caliri



who also created this commercial for united airways



Here is a really insightfull view on how he works.




I also love the madness of the 'Black Heart Gang'

Inspired By EC

Their are quite a few horror movies that have been inspired by E.C's style most notably in the Creep Show



And more recently trick r' treat

The Idea

Ive decided I want to bring back cautionary tales for children simlaire in vain to Hilaire Belloc and the 1950's EC comics



I plan to create an animation fusing my style with that of 1950's animation, like UPA animation with its minimal compositions and strong colour pallet.





I have also been looking at Darker children's movies such as 'Something wicked this way comes'

The End

Ive decided to create another blog just for my final major project as I don't want my website to get to crowded.
