Studio Brief 1- Thought of You

Thought of You

This animation is called 'Thought of You' by Ryan Woodward and really peaked my interests when i saw the style in which it is done but also the fluidity of the characters motions within the animation as they are shown to be spiritual, liquid but also moving ribbon that floats lightly around.

The character design in this animation has been done very simply as the body's have sketch lines and circles within them to show they are 3D and simple. Although they also contain different tones, shading and line work which really draws me to the aesthetic, but also makes their movements look all the more effective, when their body is moving along with it surreally.

Real dancers were used for him to get the correct look of each move that was drawn which is why this animation look so effective as you can tell he really researched into what dancers move like and how they look doing it.

This animation is trying to tell a love story where she is spiritually with him. He is fighting to get to her but she keeps pulling away until she finally wants to be with him but its took late and he has given in. You can clearly see this story as she is in a different colour to him and is only the same colour at the end when he walks away.

This is why i like this animation so much as it hold so much emotion when no words are spoken so it shows just how effective animation can be when it is silent.
