Innovative - Week 7 - Caroline Leaf

This week we looked at an animator called Caroline Leaf.

Her website - http://www.carolineleaf.com/

She uses many techniques in her animations, from sand manipulated on a lightbox, watercolour and gouache fingerpaing on gladd and scratching images onto exposed colour 35mm and 70mm film stock.

We watched and discussed some of her animations.

I like how this animation was smugdy and was not perfect lines. She also did not draw everything fully which was nice to see that it was not a 'perfect' animation and i think it went well and added to the emotion of the animation especially talking about death and it coming from a childs point of view. A child is not tidy and neat and this shows that.

 I like the sketchiness of this aimation and the use of light and dark. The dark shows how she is trapped in the house not wanting anyone to see her and the light shows the world and everything she is missing and how nice the world looks.
