For this weeks blog post we needed to find a stop motion animation, and describe what makes it an effective animation. After some youtube browsing I found one I quite enjoyed. It's called "NIGHTMARE" and it's a claymation set to music. What I liked about it is, there is no voice acting, yet it establishes a quick plot quite effectively. The sets look great, and the animation looks pretty fluid. It also does a great job of setting characters. The characters are extremely basic, but the creator did a great job establishing their roles. Another really cool feature of this animation, is the blood/gore FX. They are very well done and the death scenes are gruesome, and original. The majority of the animation takes place in the same area, and all the light comes from one light source. The lighting is slightly dim, creating a good atmosphere. Another thing I thought was really great here was the panning, it had this effect on it that created speed. One last thing that I thought was really creative is that some of the shots are from the characters camera, which added a cool new point of view.
After watching this animation I can't wait to go more in depth to this unit!
