The Monk and the Fish (Le Moine et le Poisson)
Michael Dudok de Wit
France, 1994
Why a monk? Because the shape felt like it would be nice to animate, according to the author. A monk is a blob, just a robed round blob, with not much backstory aside from being a monk. "He's not trendy, he's not sexy" says Michael Dudok de Wit.
The story seems like it's an old fable, but it all came from that shape- the initial sketches were done years before the film came to be. The result is a simple, wordless slapstick chase that escalates into a mystical ending.
The whole thing was painted with ink and watercolour, with a synchronised score by Serge Besset based on the classic La Folia music theme. The music is playful, but the baroque instruments add an elevated, pompous atmosphere. This suits the blobby, caricatural monk- he's just a little round dude, really, he's cute and funny, bouncing around to the winds and strings- not at all a serene and enlightened Man of God. Even the other monks think he's a bit silly.
While the music is Western, and the monastery could easily be on some European coast, the author admits inspiration by the aesthetics and philosophies of the East. It is seen in the negative space and the dark ink strokes on watercolour backgrounds, and the Zen-like ending. One of the inspirations for the film's progress and resolution were the Ten Ox Herding Pictures from Buddhist tradition.
Michael Dudok de Wit took a fairly quick six months to complete the film using only traditional methods (not that any others were available at the time). He painted dozens of watercolour backgrounds in search of the perfect selections for his animation.
The video above contains the complete film as well as a behind the scenes look and interview with the author.

I read 156 books and graphic novels in 2023. 119 graphic novels, 37 books. 25 non-fiction, 131 fiction. 69 graphic novels, 50 graphic mangas. 15 re-reads.
Starting in March with Unbroken, I started reading a number of books about World War II. I think I had, as ever a goal to read more non-fiction and since there are so many books on the 2 World Wars, they are often the ones that I’m able to check out from the library without a super long wait list. Then Oppenheimer came out this summer so I was more intrigued and decided to read the basis for the film (which is atypical for me outside of comics). Following Unbroken I read a few spy books, Operation Mincemeat and Double Cross in May by Ben McIntyre that were super interesting.
I had previously read The Confidence Men about 2 British POWs from WWI who escaped a Turkish POW camp by (among other things) a Ouija board. I had started reading The Diary of Anne Frank/Diary of a Young Girl sometime this past year I think and finally finished it near the end of the year and Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search For Meaning in October. I started listening to The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich in November or December and read for my family’s book club The Woman Who Smashed Codes about Elizabeth Friedman and her husband who developed cryptology in the US between World War I and II and was treated pretty wretchedly by the US government for her efforts. This was in no small part due to J. Edgar Hoover, who seems to be more and more a villain every time I have the misfortune of encountering him in books and other media.
A manga series I had started last year, The Promised Neverland, I’m close to finishing (I believe there are 20 volumes, which isn’t super long for a manga series. Full Metal Alchemist is 20-something volumes if I remember correctly) and I finally finished Hikaru no Go about a teenager who accidentally finds himself competing in the Japanese game Go due to a haunted Go board in his grandfather’s attic. A web comic that my wife got me interested in, Lore Olympus, retells the story of Persephone and Hades with a combination of contemporary and antiquity culture. The comic is broken up into “seasons” and the second season was recently finished so I wanted to read up to that point while waiting for the end of the third season. Unfortunately, it was long enough ago that I had read up to the end of the first season I ended up having to start over. But this was good as there were a number of things I caught the second time through and appreciated more on a re-read.
      I also read the 4th and 5th Wheel of Time books for the second time this past year, which was an interesting experience. There were a lot of things I remembered incorrectly because of the 25ish years since I read them initially. I don’t think I’m going to read the entire series all the way through again, but I might read book 6. I finished re-reading The Sandman (partly due to the release of the Netflix series) and went on a kick of other Vertigo (an imprint of DC Comics that focused on non-superhero books, more adult and more creator-controlled that is now largely if not entirely defunct) titles (the Dead Boy Detectives, Hellblazer, Swamp Thing). Don’t know where I’ll go with that. Also read a decent amount of Spider-Verse comics (mostly Spider-Gwen but one big crossover book that was sort of the culmination of the Spider-Verse storylines (I think?)) that was interesting. Spider-Gwen is a great comic that has yet to lead to the frustration I felt with the later Miles Morales books.
      Nagata Kabi’s memoirs about self-esteem, her fraught relationship with her parents, alcoholism and eating problems is both interesting and very frustrating. I am very lucky to not have hardly any of her emotional, mental and health issues that are wound up together but reading her mangas it is hard not to want to shake her when she seems to recover from one life-threatening catastrophe only to work herself into another. I’m morbidly curious about her later volumes about pancreatitis.
      Lastly, there were some books on Arthur and some non-fiction or books by African-American authors that I had intended to start or finish that I’m dragging my heels on. We’ll see what happens in the next year with that.

Michael Dudok de Wit is a Dutch animator, born on the 15th of July 1953. He is mostly known for directing and writing films such as The Monk and the Fish, The Red turtle and Father and Daughter. He often uses chapelinesque movements and immerses his comical characters in beautiful landscapes. His films are made with masterful animation, incredible attention to detail and are a celebration of the beauty and brutality of nature. Dudok de wit animation The Monk and the Fish has an intuitive sense of comedic timing, his drawings are so effortlessly theatrical. But movement and comedy aren’t the only things he has mastered, he also has a beautiful approach to light and colour, using ink and watercolor to hand paint backgrounds. All this combined with sophisticated music makes for some amazing and beautifully simple films.

Week 10: Animation Research (Exaggeration, Michael Dudok de Wit)
Exaggeration
Exaggeration refers to the technique of taking every action to the next level to add more emphasis and whimsy. Any emotion or action should be played up to make them stand out more.
It does not refer to making something more distorted or abstract, but rather more clear and convincing, whilst at the same time being less realistic. Squash and Stretch and Anticipation are two principles that greatly benefit Exaggeration.
If a character is getting ready to swing a bat, a good way to Exaggerate the action is to twist the body of the character more than humanly possible, to emphasise the wind-up, while making the swing exert more inertia than seemingly possible.

Exaggeration and Michael Dudok De Wit
Any action can be taken to the next level with exaggeration, which can add character and personality to an animated subject. Whilst some animators may take this to extreme levels by distorting expressions and bodies, whereas it truly means to make the action more convincing. If a character is happy, draw the eyes squinting and lips reaching higher rather than a normal smile. The same goes for movement if a character is running then make their body lean forward and extend the arms and legs further.
Pushing an exaggeration to the extreme can help animators decide what's too much and what's too little. The viewer's eye can only perceive so much, and some extreme frames may look out of place in the animation program, but in the final video, it can look fine and add to the motion. This is because the human eye can only perceive so much per second, so if you want an exaggerated frame to last longer, you can add more frames of the exaggerated drawing or extend the drawing further to be even more extra.
Michael Dudok De Wit graduated from the University for the Creative Arts and worked in Barcelona, before moving to London to direct and animate commercials and illustrate children's books. He created movies, with his first movie being The Interview in 1978. His most famous movie was Father and Daughter.
De Wit's impact was felt by his students when he moved on to teach animation at art colleges around England. His trademark style of the brush using ink and watercolour earned him many awards and his design in animation and illustration pieces inspired any artists.

WEEK ELEVEN
Exaggeration
Exaggeration refers to how objects or a persons features can appear larger for the sake of making an animation more entertaining or to convey an emotion. For example, if an animator wants to convey someone being startled the eyes could be made wider than what is anatomically or proportionally correct and the hair can stand upright. These things don't happen in reality but are effective at portraying the emotion an animator wants to convey.
