Surrealist Animation

The animation that was done by Jan Svankmajer were very interesting. I like how the different stories connected with each other when one ends another picks up. They are different but I like how the different heads move and then eat each other which turns the other into a finer head and getting to clay head with not visible marks. I think it is interesting what they did with the animation. Creating an image out of either food or kitchen utensils and having them eat each other. The movement of these are unique because they do not move smoothly but they walk with a bobbing movement. These were interesting and cool.

The Brothers Quay are unique looking brothers. Their style of animation is one of a kind. Their documentary show a lot about who they are with their animation. I like how the characters move. The character's movements are a little jerky. I think this movement helps the audience understand how the characters move. The main thing is the movement. Even though it is weird it is interesting.

The final collection is by Geoff Lillemon. His website is unique. They are unique because of the colors that are used. Along with the colors that he uses the movements of the animations are different. He brings to life some different things with movement or by putting a moving image in a box that does not move. I think that the color is what makes the animations so bizare which is good. It wants the viewers to see more creations that he did.

All of these animations that were viewed were different from the norm, but when it comes to animation who says that there is a norm and someone should stick to it. Animation is opened and that it what is seen in these. I think that is nice that no one is stuck doing the same thing. Animation is different and that is what makes it nice.
