On my trip to museum of moving image there where two exhibits
that caught my eye.
One exhibit was for the props of the stop motion
animated film, Anomalisa. It gave me a better
understanding of the hard work that came from making
this movie. For one I saw the
craftsmanship that was put into the sets used in the
movie and the attention to detail they had
such as the street and bedroom scenery. Also it
displayed the figures used for the
characters in the movie. Seeing them so stiff as opposed
to how they moved in the clip presented
in the exhibit made me impressed as to how many times
the creators had to keep re-positioning
the figures for each frame of movement used in the
movie.
The
next exhibit that impressed me was the feral fount which is basically a cylinder
with
several objects connected to it that spins at a great
speed. This one had missiles, hands, melted
plastic, letters, and papers planes all in different positions of the feral fount. But when the light
around the feral fount starts to flicker at a certain
speeds, the blur gets canceled out and the feral
found gives off an illusion of stop-motion animation
with the hands grabbing the missiles, which
turns into melted plastic that turns into a letter
which turns into a paper plane. I was amazed at
how you could use such a trick to create animation. I
didn’t even think you could do something
like that. It gave me better insight on all the
different tricks you can used to create animation.
