Nothing Happens by Michelle and Uri Kranot from Michelle & Uri Kranot on Vimeo.

It is freezing cold on the outskirts of town. Yet people gather. I watch them form a row across the horizon. We all wait for something to happen. However, nothing does…

NOTHING HAPPENS offers a new way of looking. It is about spectatorship - about watching and being watched. It is about being present.

FRAMES PER SECOND

PERSISTENCE OF VISION

TASK

For this week, I’ll need to research and look into numerous animation styles and animators. I’d like to choose an animator with an interesting life story, particularly with a style I wouldn’t typically consider as an inspiration; truly out of the box. 

Whilst we’ve been given a plethora of resources to sift through, I’ll still need to seek out a variation of artists to take inspiration from. I’ll document the resources here, but append the blog with my own findings and why I’ve considered my choices.

ANIMATION MEDIUMS

We were given multiple and varied examples of animated movies.

2D Hand Drawn (On Paper)

On Melancholy by Hannah Jacobs

2D Hand Drawn (Digitally)

A Little too Much by Martina Carpell
