Week 11 - Abstract Animation

We firstly looked at a few quotes by different animators and discussed what we thought the meaning of them were.

'A Colour Box' by Len Lye

With abstract animation we see more of the artists personality and style. Experimental abstract can have a commercial element.

Paule Wells - came up with the idea between orthodox animation and experimental animation and how they are linked.

Cartoons that time forgot:

Ub Iwerks - worked with Disney and was friends with him in the early days.

Carl Stalling - Musician and worked for Warner Bros. He did music for early cartoons. His origins were from silent films where his would play the music that would accompany them.

Some old Cartoons we looked at:

'Skeleton Dance' - Silly Symphony

Flip the Frog - 'Soup Song'

Flip the Frog - 'The Village Barber'
