Evaluation of Animation

Living Together in Peace
 
 
Having watched the rest of the groups animations possibly the one that gripped me the most was Living Together in Peace by Holli Davies. This animation tied in closely to the recent event in Paris (Je Suis Charlie) and the animation effectively illustrated this. Although the animation told a clear story, as a viewer it was simplistic to watch with good use of sound effects.




A particularly well executed skill of Holli's animation is in the title. The use of hands is very difficult in stop-motion but throughout the title of the animation Holli does this professionally without any errors. Our world today witnesses many events similar to what happened in Paris and the animation tries to highlight that why on Planet Earth can't we live in peace. The animation is emotionally engaging and whilst watching it opened my mind to other world conflicts not only 'Je Suis Charlie'.

The simple stick men are used appropriately during the animation and the idea of using the French flag is great use of creativity. Its obvious that good effort has been displayed throughout and as the work has been completed solely by Holli it is far more difficult than working as part of a group. Looking technically at the animation it displays great use of music, clear lighting throughout and  creative elements from start to finish!
